A number of microorganisms belonging to the genera of algae, yeast, bacteria, and fungi have ability to accumulate neutral lipids under specific cultivation conditions. The microbial lipids contain high fractions of polyunsaturated fatty acids and have the potential to serve as a source of significant quantities of transportation fuels. This paper reviews the current state of the art of this field. It summarizes the various microorganism used, feed stocks available, environmental factors that influence growth of cells and accumulation of lipids, major fatty acid composition of lipids, and the technology.  相似文献

Oily yeasts have been described to be able to accumulate lipids up to 20% of their cellular dry weight. These yeasts represent a minor proportion of the total yeast population, and only 5% of them have been reported as able to accumulate more than 25% of lipids. The oily yeast genera include Yarrowia, Candida, Rhodotorula, Rhodosporidium, Cryptococcus, Trichosporon, and Lipomyces. More specifically, examples of oleaginous yeasts include the species: Lipomyces starkeyi, Rhodosporidium toruloides, Rhodotorula glutinis, and Yarrowia lipolytica. Yeast do exhibit advantages for lipid production over other microbial sources, namely, their duplication times are usually lower than 1 h, are much less affected than plants by season or climate conditions, and their cultures are more easily scaled up than those of microalgae. Additionally, some oily yeasts have been reported to accumulate oil up to 80% of their dry weight and can indeed generate different lipids from different carbon sources or from lipids present in the culture media. Thus, they can vary their lipid composition by replacing the fatty acids present in their triglycerides. Due to the diversity of microorganisms and growth conditions, oily yeasts can be useful for the production of triglycerides, surfactants, or polyunsaturated fatty acids.  相似文献

The interdependences between the structure of fatty acid and biofuel characteristics obtained from these fatty acids were briefly reviewed. The fatty acid compositions of the lipids of yeasts and phototrophic microorganisms were analyzed. The main parameters of the biodiesel (iodine value, cetane number, and kinematic viscosity) that can be made from the lipids of these microorganisms were calculated based on the data and compared to the current standards. The lipids of the yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides VKPM Y-3349 were shown to be the most suitable for biofuel production due to the composition and content of fatty acid. The possibilities of a decrease in the prime cost of microbial lipids (along with plant oils) that would make them competitive raw material for biofuel production were considered.  相似文献

Microbial lipids produced by oleaginous microorganisms, also called microbial oils and single cell oils (SCOs), are very promising sources for several oil industries. The exploration of efficient oleaginous yeast strains, meant to produce both high-quantity and high-quality lipids for the production of biodiesel, oleochemicals, and the other high value lipid products, have gained much attention. At present, the number of oleaginous yeast species that have been discovered is 8.2% of the total number of known yeast species, most of which have been isolated from their natural habitats. To explore high lipid producing yeasts, different methods, including high-throughput screening methods using colorimetric or fluorometric measures, have been developed. Understanding of the fatty acid composition profiles of lipids produced by oleaginous yeasts would help to define target lipid-related products. For lipid production, the employment of low-cost substrates suitable for yeast growth and lipid accumulation, and efficient cultivation processes are key factors for successfully increasing the amount of the accumulated lipid yield while decreasing the cost of production.  相似文献

Single-cell oil (SCO) represents a sustainable alternative for the oil industry. Accordingly, the identification of microorganisms with either higher lipidogenic ability or novel capacities for the transformation of raw materials constitutes a major challenge for the field of oil biotechnology. With this in mind, here, we were prompted to address the lipidogenic profile of the filamentous hemiascomycete Ashbya gossypii, which is currently used for the microbial production of vitamins. We found that A. gossypii mostly accumulates unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), with more than 50% of the total FA content corresponding to oleic acid. In addition, we engineered A. gossypii strains both lacking the beta-oxidation pathway and also providing ATP-citrate lyase (ACL) activity to block the degradation of FA and to increase the cytosolic acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) content, respectively. The lipidogenic profile of the newly developed strains demonstrates that the mere elimination of the beta-oxidation pathway in A. gossypii triggers a significant increase in lipid accumulation that can reach 70% of cell dry weight. The use of A. gossypii as a novel and robust tool for the production of added-value oils is further discussed.  相似文献

Oleaginous yeasts (18 strains) were grown in ethanol media under various cultivation conditions (33 biomass samples). It was found that lipid and lipid-free fractions of dry biomass have elemental composition and biomass reductivity very close to values which can be considered as biological constants. The energy content of dry biomass strongly depended on the total lipid content. When the lipid content was 64%, the energy value of dry biomass reached 73% of diesel oil; therefore, oleaginous microorganisms can be a promising source of biodiesel fuel. The approach used in this work makes it possible to determine the energy value of biomass by its elemental composition without application of laborious and expensive calorimetric measurements of combustion heats.  相似文献

A screening technique for microbial proteases, the thin-layer enzyme assay cultivation technique, was developed. The inner surface of a polystyrene petri dish was coated with protein and then covered with a culture agar medium. The enzymes, produced during growth of the microorganisms, reach the protein-coated surface by diffusion in the agar. Degradation of the protein was visualized by condensation of water vapor on the surface after removal of the agar medium. The wettability of the enzyme-affected protein-coated polystyrene surface was decreased compared with the unaffected protein surface. Enzyme substrates used were fibrinogen, immunoglobulin G, egg albumin, human serum albumin, bovine serum albumin, hemoglobin, mucin, and gelatin. It was possible to use a variety of culture agar media, nonselective as well as selective, in the assay. The technique provides a sensitive, convenient, and inexpensive method for screening various microbial proteases. In addition, the technique can be used for screening proteolytic enzyme activity of specific microbial species in a mixed microbial sample as well as for studies of factors that influence the cultivation conditions for protease production and activity.  相似文献

In order to obtain basic information on the biosorption and recycling of gold from aqueous systems using microbial cells, the biosorption of gold by various microorganisms was investigated. Of 75 strains of microorganisms tested (25 bacteria, 19 actinomycetes, 17 fungi and 14 yeasts), high abilities of gold biosorption from a solution containing hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III) were found in some gram-negative bacterial strains, such as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Erwinia herbicola, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and P. maltophilia. Most of the gram-positive bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi and yeasts had a lower ability for gold biosorption than gram-negative bacteria. On the other hand, all of the microorganisms tested adsorbed far smaller amounts of gold from a solution containing gold dicyanoaurate (I). The biosorption of gold from a solution containing hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III) using P. maltophilia having a high adsorbing ability for gold was very rapid and was affected by the pH of the solution, external gold concentration, and cell amounts. P. maltophilia cells immobilized with polyacrylamide gel also have a high ability for gold biosorption. The gold adsorbed on the immobilized cells is easily desorbed with 0.1 M thiourea solution. The immobilized P. maltophilia cells can be used repeatedly in biosorption-desorption cycles.  相似文献

花蜜是虫媒植物提供给传粉者最有效的报酬,对花蜜特征介导的植物-传粉者相互关系的研究已成为当今传粉生物学研究中最活跃的领域之一。开花植物分泌的原始花蜜是无菌的,不过一些微生物可经由空气传播至花蜜或(和)通过与传粉者的喙接触而聚集于花蜜中,并利用花蜜中的营养物质进行快速繁殖。花蜜的高渗透压环境导致花蜜中微生物(酵母菌,细菌)的物种多样性相对较低。此外,某些生物(传粉者组成,微生物间的竞争)与非生物因素(渗透压,糖组成,次生代谢物质,抗菌化合物,可利用氮源,温度,pH)也可影响花蜜中微生物群落的形成。花蜜中微生物的代谢活动能够改变花蜜物理(温度,粘度)与化学(pH,H_2O_2含量,糖组成和浓度,氨基酸组分和浓度,以及气味)特性,进而影响传粉者的访花行为与植物的繁殖适合度。因而,对花蜜中微生物及其生态功能的研究近年来颇受传粉生物学家的关注。在总结已发表研究成果的基础上,提出今后的研究有必要结合分子生物学与化学分析技术,以进一步揭示影响花蜜中微生物群落的潜在因素的作用机制,同时对花蜜微生物改变花蜜的物理、化学特性及植物-传粉者之间相互作用的可能原因进行更详尽的阐释,特别是对花蜜微生物在生态系统中所发挥的生态功能进行进一步的研究与认识。  相似文献

Selective accumulation of heavy metals by microorganisms   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Summary An investigation of the removal and recovery of urnnium from aqueous systems using microbial biomass has been described previously (Nakajima et al. 1982). To establish which microorganisms accumulate the most uranium, we extended our investigation of uranium uptake to 83 species of microorganisms, 32 bacteria, 15 yeasts, 16 fungi and 20 actinomycetes. Of these 83 species of microorganisms tested, extremely high uranium-absorbing ability was found in Pseudomonas stutzeri, Neurospora sitophila, Streptomyces albus and Streptomyces viridochromogenes.The selective accumulation of heavy metal ions by various microorganisms has also been examined. Uranyl, mercury and lead ions were readily accumulated by almost all the species of microorganisms tested. Actinomycetes and fungi differ from many bacteria and most yeasts in their selective accumulation of uranium and mercury.In addition to this fundamental research, uranium recovery was investigated in immobilized Streptomyces albus, a microorganism with high uranium-uptake ability. These immobilized cells adsorbed uranium readily and selectively. The immobilized cells recovered uranium almost quantitatively and almost all uranium absorbed was desorbed with 0.1 M Na2CO3. The dry weight of the free cells decreased by 50% during 5 adsorption-desorption cycles. However, the dry weight of the immobilized cells decreased by only 2% during 5 cycles. These results showed that microbial cells are more stable after immobilization and can be used repeatedly for the process of uranium adsorption-desorption.  相似文献

活性污泥微生物菌群研究方法进展   总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20  
活性污泥是活性污泥法处理污水系统的功能主体。人类对活性污泥微生物菌群的认识随着其研究方法的发展而逐步深入。传统培养方法只能检测到活性污泥中1%~15%的微生物。随着一系列基于免培养的分子生物学技术的出现,活性污泥中菌群的复杂性和多样性以惊人的速度被人们认识,大量依靠传统检测方法未能发现却在活性污泥中起关键作用的微生物逐渐被发现。许多模拟活性污泥菌群生存环境条件的现代培养技术开始发展,且已成功培养了一部分传统培养方法不能培养的细菌类群,这为研究基于免培养方法发现的大量新的微生物菌群的生理特性和作用机制提供了可能,也无疑将把人们对活性污泥菌群的认识推向一个新的层次.主要介绍活性污泥微生物菌群研究的一系列方法,从传统培养方法到基于免培养的现代分子生物学技术,再到现代培养技术,着重论述了现代分子生物学技术及其在活性污泥微生物菌群研究中的进展。  相似文献

One of the options enabling more economic production of polyhydroxyalkanoates compared to pure cultures is the application of mixed cultures. The use of a microbial community in a sequencing batch reactor has a few advantages: a simple process control, no necessity for sterile processing, and possibilities of using cheap substrates as a source of carbon. Nevertheless, while cultivation methods to achieve high PHAs biomass concentration and high productivity in wild and recombinant strains are defined, knowledge about the cultivation strategy for PHAs production by mixed culture and species composition of bacterial communities is still very limited. The main object of this study was to characterize on the molecular level the composition and activity of PHAs producing microorganism in activated sludge cultivated under oxygen limitation conditions. PHAs producers were detected using a PCR technique and the created PHA synthase gene library was analyzed by DNA sequencing. The obtained results indicate that PHAs-producers belonged to Pseudomonas sp., and possessed genes coding for mcl-PHA synthase. The kinetics of mcl-PHA synthase expression was relatively estimated using real-time PCR technology at several timepoints. Performed quantitative and qualitative analysis of total bacterial activity showed that there were differences in total activity during the process but differential expression of various groups of microorganisms examined by using DGGE was not observed.  相似文献

Perspectives of microbial oils for biodiesel production   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Biodiesel has become more attractive recently because of its environmental benefits, and the fact that it is made from renewable resources. Generally speaking, biodiesel is prepared through transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats with short chain alcohols. However, the lack of oil feedstocks limits the large-scale development of biodiesel to some extent. Recently, much attention has been paid to the development of microbial, oils and it has been found that many microorganisms, such as algae, yeast, bacteria, and fungi, have the ability to accumulate oils under some special cultivation conditions. Compared to other plant oils, microbial oils have many advantages, such as short life cycle, less labor required, less affection by venue, season and climate, and easier to scale up. With the rapid expansion of biodiesel, microbial oils might become one of potential oil feedstocks for biodiesel production in the future, though there are many works associated with microorganisms producing oils need to be carried out further. This review is covering the related research about different oleaginous microorganisms producing oils, and the prospects of such microbial oils used for biodiesel production are also discussed.  相似文献

Abstract

While a class of yeasts excrete lipid-containing surfactants, oleaginous yeasts produce and store lipids similar to vegetable oils and fats. Recovery of the oleaginous yeast lipids is problematic because of their intracellular nature and protection by well-knit biopolymers of the cell wall and other membrane systems. There is no suitable method of choice that ensures 100% recovery of intracellular lipids without affecting the native state during different unit operations. Several laboratory methods are available, but none can be adopted directly for commercial extractions due to technological limitations. However, as a result of the emergence of new downstream processing techniques, there is a positive indication for commercialization of yeast-lipid production in the future. Although most of the oleaginous yeasts are nonpathogenic, it is mandatory to analyze and report quality as well as toxicity of their lipids prior to market introduction as a component of human diet. This warrants specially formulated codes for edibility of yeast lipids and, in general, for similar products from other microbial sources.  相似文献
