Zusammenfassung:A method for producing a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) or a lipid containing a PUFA, a microbial cell containing a PUFA, and use of the microbial cell are provided. A method for producing a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) or a lipid containing a PUFA including culture of a microorganism capable of producing arachidonic acid (ARA) and/or dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) is provided, the method including at least one of the following steps: (a) adding an organic acid in an amount of 0.01 to 5 w/v% to a culture medium after the beginning of main culture; (b) increasing the pH of the culture medium to a range effective for culture after the beginning of the main culture; and (c) adding a metal sulfate in an amount of 0.01 to 0.5 w/w% to the main culture medium.
