Odontella Aurita
''Odontella aurita'' is a diatom and the type species of genus ''Odontella''. The easiest way to identify this species is by recognizing the very distinct shape of the cells belonging to this genus. ''Odontella aurita'' is cultivated industrially for human consumption due to its ability to produce up to 28% of its total lipids as eicosapentaenoic acid Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; also icosapentaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid. In physiological literature, it is given the name 20:5(n-3). It also has the trivial name timnodonic acid. In chemical structure, EPA is a carboxylic acid with a 20-c ... (EPA), a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA).Guiheneuf, F., Fouqueray, M., Mimouni, V., et al. (2010).
