MUMBAI, India, June 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421096140 A) filed by Indian Oil Corporation Limited on December 05, 2024, for Process For Production Of Microbial Oil.
Inventors include Sivagurunathan, P; Sahoo, Prakash Chandra; Kumar, Manoj; Bompelli, Sravan; Gupta, Ravi Prakash; and Srivastva, Umish.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to the process for conversion of organic rich feed stock or industrial byproduct or CO2 derived intermediates into tailor made microbial oil. This process involves the addition of growth inducers and providing intermittent temperature-shock to induce the biomass yield and oil accumulation. The mutated yeast used herein improves the synthesis trait of tailor-made chain length and process conditions herein to improve the production yield of biomass and oil quality. The mutated yeast was subject to process optimization with varied temperature-shock conditions and the presence of growth inducers. The produced microbial oil has potential application for biodiesel, biolubricants and bio-additives.
