Spectroscopy analysis for simultaneous determination of lycopene and β-carotene in fungal biomass of Blakeslea trispora

Blakeslea trispora is a good alternative source for producing such carotenoids as lycopene and β-carotene. The objective of this research was to elaborate a method for the simultaneous determination of lycopene and β-carotene in Blakeslea trispora products using a usual UV-vis spectrophotometer. The standard solutions of the mixture of different concentrations of β-carotene and lycopene were measured with the UV-vis method and correlation formula for the extinction coefficients of 1% standard solution of lycopene in the solvent (hexane) and the ratios of the optical densities at the character peaks of 470 and 502 nm was elaborated. This gives a possibility to calculate the concentrations of lycopene and β-carotene in the mixture. The prediction quality of the UV-vis method was sufficient and the obtained results were very close to the ones, being measured with the HPLC technique. The proposed method can be used for both routine industrial work and academic research, providing the rapid analysis for simultaneous measurements of lycopene and β-carotene.

Effect of high pressure on the carotenoid content of Blakeslea trispora Thaxter mycelium]

Improved lycopene production by Blakeslea trispora with isopentenyl compounds and metabolic precursors

The highest lycopene production in mated cultures of Blakeslea trispora was 578?mg/l by adding 42?mg geraniol/l to the medium after 48?h of growth. The control gave 317?mg/l. Adding isopentenyl alcohol at 40?mg/l, mevalonic acid at 17.5?mg/l or dimethyl allyl alcohol at 150?mg, each after 36?h growth, gave lycopene yields 62, 45 and 47%, respectively, higher than the control.     

Use of metabolic stimulators and inhibitors for enhanced production of beta-carotene and lycopene by Blakeslea trispora NRRL 2895 and 2896

This work investigates the potential of metabolic stimulators, firstly to enhance the production of beta-carotene, and later use of inhibitors of lycopene cyclase so as to accumulate lycopene in the fermentation medium. Various non-ionic surfactants, natural oils, stimulators such as amino-acids, tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) intermediates, vitamin A and antibiotics were investigated for improved production of beta-carotene using the zygomycete fungus Blakeslea trispora. Span 20 at 0.2% increased the beta-carotene production from 139 mg/l to 318 mg/l. Examination of the mycelial morphology of the B. trispora with span 20 showed a shorter mycelial length, which allowed a well-dispersed growth of B. trispora. Supplementation of the medium with 1000 ppm vitamin A acetate gave highest concentration of beta-carotene (830+/-6 mg/l). Several chemical inhibitors such as imidazole, pyridine, triethylamine, piperidine, and nicotinic acid were then evaluated to block the biosynthesis at lycopene. Piperidine at 500 ppm gave a 7.76-fold improvement, and produced high titers of lycopene (775+/-5 mg/l) in a medium supplemented with vitamin A acetate.
