强化乙酰辅酶A供应对裂殖壶菌合成二十二碳六烯酸的影响

细胞液中乙酰辅酶A的持续供应是脂肪酸高效积累的必要条件。考虑到甲羟戊酸和脂肪酸合成途径共用相同的前体乙酰辅酶A,抑制甲羟戊酸途径可能促使更多的乙酰辅酶A流向脂肪酸合成。通过添加前体物质或/和甲羟戊酸途径酶的抑制剂以强化乙酰辅酶A的供应,即在裂殖壶菌发酵起始或/和后期添加乙酸、发酵起始添加甲羟戊酸途径酶的抑制剂辛伐他汀或柠檬酸、发酵起始同时添加乙酸和辛伐他汀或柠檬酸并考察其对裂殖壶菌合成二十二碳六烯酸 (DHA)的影响,结果发现发酵起始同时添加6mmol/L的乙酸和1μmol/L的辛伐他汀时,DHA产量最高,达到13.21g/L,比对照提高了46.61%。

STUDY ON BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HETEROTROPHIC MARINE MICROALGA—SCHIZOCHYTRIUM MANGROVEI PQ6 ISOLATED FROM PHU QUOC ISLAND,KIEN GIANG PROVINCE,VIETNAM1

Schizochytrium sp. PQ6, a heterotrophic microalga isolated from Phu Quoc (PQ) Island in the Kien Giang province of Vietnam, contains a high amount of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n‐3). In this study, the culture conditions are developed to maximize biomass and DHA production. Nucleotide sequence analysis of partial 18S rRNA gene from genomic DNA showed that PQ6 has a phylogenetic relationship close to Schizochytrium mangrovei Raghu‐Kumar. The highest growth rate and DHA accumulation of this strain were obtained in 6.0% glucose, 1.0% yeast extract, 50% artificial seawater (ASW), and pH 7 at 28°C. In addition, carbon and nitrogen sources could be replaced by glycerol, ammonium acetate, sodium nitrate, or fertilizer N–P–K. Total lipid content reached 38.67% of dry cell weight (DCW), in which DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5n‐3) contents accounted for 43.58% and 0.75% of the total fatty acid (TFA), respectively. In 5 and 10 L fermenters, the cell density, DCW, total lipid content, and maximum DHA yield were 46.50 × 10⁶ cells · mL^?1, 23.7 g · L^?1, 38.56% of DCW, and 8.71 g · L^?1 (in 5 L fermenter), respectively, and 49.71 × 10⁶ cells · mL^?1, 25.34 g · L^?1, 46.23% of DCW, and 11.55 g · L^?1 (in 10 L fermenter), respectively. Biomass of PQ6 strain possessed high contents of Na, I, and Fe (167.185, 278.3, and 43.69 mg · kg^?1 DCW, respectively). These results serve as a foundation for the efficient production of PQ6 biomass that can be used as a food supplement for humans and aquaculture in the future.     

Optimization of docosahexaenoic acid production by Schizochytrium limacinum SR21

Culture conditions of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21 for the purpose of microbial docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production were investigated. The strain SR21 showed a wide tolerance to salinity; that is, the optimum salinity was between 50% and 200% that of sea water. Monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) and glycerol supported good cell growth and DHA yield. Di- and polysaccharides, oleic acid, and linseed oil gave low DHA yields. A high content of DHA (more than 30% of total fatty acids) was obtained from culture on glucose, fructose, and glycerol, and also the strain had simple polyunsaturated fatty acid profiles. The major polyunsaturated fatty acids other than DHA were n-6 docosapentaenoic acid only, and the contents of icosapentaenoic acid and arachidonic acid were less than 1%. Using corn steep liquor as a nitrogen source, a high total fatty acid content was obtained. The total fatty acid content in the dry cell weight increased as the concentration of the nitrogen source decreased, reached more than 50%. An increase in carbon source concentration led to a high DHA yield. A maximum DHA yield of more than 4 g/l was obtained in both glucose and glycerol media at 9% and 12% respectively. S. limacinum SR21 was thought to be a promising resource for microbial DHA production yielding a good level of productivity as well as a simple polyunsaturated fatty acid profile.

Efficient production of triacylglycerols rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by osmo-heterotrophic marine protists

Thraustochytrids have recently emerged as a promising source for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production due to their high growth rate and oil content. In this study, two thraustochytrid isolates, Aurantiochytrium sp. PKU#SW7 and Thraustochytriidae sp. PKU#Mn16 were used for DHA production. Following growth parameters were optimized to maximize DHA production: temperature, pH, salinity, and glucose concentration. Both isolates achieved the highest DHA yield at the cultivation temperature of 28 °C, pH 6, 100 % seawater, and 2 % glucose. A DHA yield of 1.395 g/l and 1.426 g/l was achieved under the optimized culture conditions. Further investigation revealed that both isolates possess simple fatty acids profiles with palmitic acid and DHA as their dominant constituents, accounting for ～79 % of total fatty acids. To date, very few studies have focused on the DHA distribution in various lipid fractions which is an important factor for identifying strains with a potential for industrial DHA production. In the present study, the lipids profiles of each strain both revealed that the majority of DHA was distributed in neutral lipids (NLs), and the DHA distribution in NLs of PKU#SW7 was exclusively in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) which suggest that PKU#SW7 could be utilized as an alternative source of DHA for dietary supplements. The fermentation process established for both strains also indicating that Aurantiochytrium sp. PKU#SW7 was more suitable for cultivation in fermenter. In addition, the high percentage of saturated fatty acids produced by the two thraustochytrids indicates their potential application in biodiesel production. Overall, our findings suggest that two thraustochytrid isolates are suitable candidates for biotechnological applications.     

Efficient docosahexaenoic acid production by Schizochytrium sp. via a two-phase pH control strategy using ammonia and citric acid as pH regulators

The cell growth and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) synthesis of Schizochytrium sp. are closely related to the culture pH. A two-phase pH control strategy based on nitrogen consumption was developed in which pH 7.0 was used for biomass accumulation and pH 5.0 for DHA synthesis. Using this strategy, the cell dry weight and DHA content reached 98.07 and 25.85 g/L, respectively. Furthermore, ammonia and citric acid were used as pH regulators. Application of citric acid further resulted in 7.88 and 4.87% improvements of total lipids and the ratio of DHA to total fatty acids, respectively. Ammonia, as a suitable nitrogen source, promoted non-lipid biomass accumulation. Using this method, a maximum DHA yield of 32.75 g/L was obtained with non-lipid biomass (58.01 g/L) and the ratio of DHA to total fatty acids (52.36%). This study provides an easy strategy for large-scale industrial production of DHA via high-cell-density fermentation of Schizochytrium sp.
