The present invention relates to an Agathobaculum sp. strain having prophylactic or therapeutic effects on autism spectrum disorders, and use thereof. When the intestinal microorganism Agathobaculum sp. strain of the present invention was orally administered to valproic acid (VPA)-induced autism model mice and BTBR autism model mice, the effects of remarkably improving autism spectrum disorders including repetitive behaviors, hyperactivity, social deficiency and cognitive/memory dysfunction of the mice were observed, as compared with a non-treated control. Accordingly, it may be usefully applied to foods, drugs, or feeds for preventing or treating autism spectrum disorders, and thus is very useful in the relevant industries.

The disclosure relates to the production of lipids by microbes utilizing novel post-fermentation industrial feedstocks. The post-fermentation industrial feedstocks comprise one or more inhibitory compounds, which traditionally have made the post-fermentation media unsuitable for utilization as a feedstock for microbial lipid production. In aspects, the disclosure provides oleaginous yeast capable of utilizing these post-fermentation industrial waste streams as a novel feedstock, methods of producing lipids and microbial oils utilizing these microbes and feedstock, and novel compositions produced from the methods.

The present invention relates to microbial cells comprising triacylglycerol (TAG) with short chain fatty acids (SCFA), as well as methods of using these cells to produce lipid comprising TAG with SCFAs.

The present disclosure relates to a process for refining crude oils using a combination of a chemical process and mega-sonic treatment to simultaneously and efficiently separate oil and gum phases. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a process for refining crude oils using a combination of chemical processes followed by megasonic treatment to effectively separate and recover entrained oil from a gum phase to increase the oil yield, and to produce an oil of higher quality with reduced gum content. The present disclosure also relates to a process for refining crude oils using a combination of chemical processes followed by megasonic treatment to effectively separate and recover entrained gums from an oil phase to increase the gum yield, and to produce a gum of higher quality with reduced oil content. The present disclosure also relates to obtaining refined oils and refined gums from the process described herein.
