There is provided a process for preparing lipids containing docosahexaenoic acid and/or docosapentaenoic acid, comprising: cultivating in a medium a microorganism of genus Ulkenia having the ability to produce lipids containing docosahexaenoic acid and/or docosapentaenoic acid, and recovering said lipids from a culture; wherein globose or oval cells and biflagellate zoospores are observed when the microorganism is cultured in a KMV liquid medium at 20°C in the dark, whereas a network of ectoplasm filaments is not observed. |
