•20 % lipid content by weight which is 40 % DHA
•Facultative heterotroph, which does not perform
photosynthesis
•Growth rate of 0.0375 h-1 on glucose substrate
•Uses glucose as a carbon source
•Uses dead yeast from ethanol bottoms as a nitrogen
source
•Requires dissolved oxygen for optimal growth
•Grows in brackish (saline) water.
