title: Thraustochytrid Aurantiochytrium sp. 18W-13a accummulates high amounts of squalene.
abstract: Here we report on the 18W-13a strain of Aurantiochytrium sp., which accumulates very high amounts of squalene. The squalene contents and production at 4 d of culture were 198 mg/g and 1.29 ± 0.13 g/L, respectively, exceptionally high values compared to previous reports.
