Panida Unagul, Satinee Suetrong, Research article: Seven groups Sita Preedanon, Anupong of Thai thraustochytrids were ­Klaysuban, Wunna Gundool, Chanwit categorized based on morphology, ­Suriyachadkun and Jariya Sakayaroj molecular phylogeny and fatty acid Isolation, fatty acid profiles profiles. Two groups producing and cryopreservation of marine economically valuable fatty acids ­thraustochytrids from mangrove could be new lineages in the habitats in Thailand Labyrinthulomycetes. Conditions for successful cryopreservation of DOI 10.1515/bot-2016-0111 thraustochytrids were established.

The marine-derived fungus strain SF-8 in response to polycyclic Paecilomyces sp. strain SF-8 could aromatic hydrocarbons efficiently degrade a broad range of hydrocarbons.

The high ­production by a Fusarium strain unsaturated fatty acid content in the isolated from the open ocean oil produced by the fungus suggests that it is a promising source of DOI 10.1515/bot-2016-0106 biodiesel.
