产油微藻自养培养条件调控

作为新兴生物燃料的生物柴油近年来发展迅速,以微藻为代表的第二代生物能源是解决能源危机的长远之计,但如何提高其产量仍是研究的热点问题。以提高产油自养微藻生物量和油脂含量为目的,在气升式光反应器中运用均匀设计实验方法进行了条件优化试验。分别得出了氮原子浓度、通气速率、二氧化碳体积浓度和光照强度4个因素对小球藻C2生物量积累和油脂含量影响的显著回归方程和反应器优化培养条件。以生物量为指标的优化培养条件是:氮原子浓度0.178 g/L,通气速率5 L/min,二氧化碳体积浓度3%(V/V),光照强度6000 lx。该优化条件下,生物量为2.11 g/L,即生产速率为0.352 g/(L.d),比测试实验中检测到的最高生物量[1.88 g/L,即生产速率为0.313 g/(L.d)]提高了12.2%;以油脂含量为指标的优化培养条件是:进气速率0.400 L/min,二氧化碳体积浓度1.94%(V/V),得到油脂含量为22.4%,比测试实验中检测到的最高油脂量(20.7%)提高7.7%。     

加快微生物油脂研究为生物柴油产业提供廉价原料

当前国内外致力于发展生物柴油,因其性能优良,成为化石柴油的替代品。由于以植物油脂生产生物柴油原料成本占总成本的70％-85％,所以亟待开发廉价油脂资源。微生物油脂主要是微生物利用碳水化合物合成的甘油脂,其脂肪酸组成和植物油相近。产油微生物具有资源丰富、油脂含量高、碳源利用谱广等特点,开发潜力大。然而,目前微生物油脂生产成本偏高,研究工作仍以富含多不饱和脂肪酸的高附加值菌油为目标。随着现代分子生物学和生物化工技术的发展,对产油微生物菌种筛选、改良、代谢调控和发酵工程的研究日趋深入,将降低微生物油脂生产成本,为未来生物柴油产业提供廉价原料。     

圆红冬孢酵母两阶段培养法生产微生物油脂

为缩短发酵时间,减少原料消耗,采用细胞增殖和油脂积累分离的两阶段模式,培养圆红冬孢酵母Rhodosporidium toruloides AS 2.1389生产微生物油脂。结果表明,细胞增殖阶段获得的R.toruloides AS 2.1389细胞,重悬接种在葡萄糖溶液中,可快速积累油脂,菌体油脂含量超过自身干重的55%。增殖阶段细胞的菌龄越高,产油能力越强。油脂积累阶段使用高浓度葡萄糖溶液或未灭菌的葡萄糖溶液,油脂合成可以有效进行。油脂中脂肪酸成分以含16和18个碳原子的长链脂肪酸为主,可作为制备生物柴油的新型原料。

Direct bioconversion of rice residue from canteen waste into lipids by new amylolytic oleaginous yeast Sporidiobolus pararoseus KX709872

The new amylolytic oleaginous red yeast, Sporidiobolus pararoseus KX709872, produced both α-amylase (540?±?0.09?mU/mL) and amyloglucosidase (23?±?0.00?mU/mL) and showed good ability to directly convert rice residue from canteen waste to biomass and lipids. Effects of medium composition and cultivation conditions on growth and lipid accumulation for strain KX709872 were investigated under shaking flask and upscaling levels. At C?:?N ratio of 25?:?1, pH 5.45, 22.36°C, and 199.40?rpm for 7 days, volumetric production of biomass and lipids, lipid content, and lipid productivity reached 17.69?±?0.44, 8.35?±?0.19?g/L, 49.48?±?0.41% (w/w), and 1.67?±?0.11?g/L/day, respectively. Production of lipids was also implemented in 5.0-L stirred tank bioreactor with 2.5?L of optimized medium at 300?rpm and 3.0 vvm for 5 days. Volumetric production of biomass and lipids, lipid content, and lipid productivity were 16.33?±?0.49, 8.75?±?0.13?g/L, 56.61?±?0.04% (w/w), and 2.19?±?0.03?g/L/day, respectively. Meanwhile, the fatty acids of lipids from strain KX709872 had high oleic acid content (60?62%) which was similar to those of vegetable oils, indicating that these lipids are promising as an alternative biodiesel feedstock. Moreover, the biodiesel derived from lipids of strain KX709872 had properties satisfying the criteria of ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 standards.

Achieving a high-density oleaginous yeast culture: Comparison of four processing strategies using Metschnikowia pulcherrima

Microbial lipids have the potential to displace terrestrial oils for fuel, value chemical, and food production, curbing the growth in tropical oil plantations and helping to reduce deforestation. However, commercialization remains elusive partly due to the lack of suitably robust organisms and their low lipid productivity. Extremely high cell densities in oleaginous cultures are needed to increase reaction rates, reduce reactor volume, and facilitate downstream processing. In this investigation, the oleaginous yeast Metschnikowia pulcherrima, a known antimicrobial producer, was cultured using four different processing strategies to achieve high cell densities and gain suitable lipid productivity. In batch mode, the yeast demonstrated lipid contents more than 40% (w/w) under high osmotic pressure. In fed-batch mode, however, high-lipid titers were prevented through inhibition above 70.0 g L⁻¹ yeast biomass. Highly promising were a semi-continuous and continuous mode with cell recycle where cell densities of up to 122.6 g L⁻¹ and maximum lipid production rates of 0.37 g L⁻¹ h⁻¹ (daily average), a nearly two-fold increase from the batch, were achieved. The findings demonstrate the importance of considering multiple fermentation modes to achieve high-density oleaginous yeast cultures generally and indicate the limitations of processing these organisms under the extreme conditions necessary for economic lipid production.

Differentiation of cultured human keratinocytes: Effect of culture conditions on lipid composition of normal vs. malignant cells

Summary Differentiation in keratinocytes can be experimentally modulated by changing the culture conditions. When cultured under conventional, submerged conditions, the extent of cellular differentiation is reduced in the presence of low calcium medium and is enhanced in medium containing physiologic calcium concentrations. Moreover cultures grown at the air-medium interface or on a dermal substrate, or both, differentiate even further. Herein we report the effect of culture conditions on lipid composition in normal human keratinocytes and three squamous carcinoma cell (SCC) lines that vary in their capacity to differentiate as assessed by cornified envelope formation. Under submerged conditions, the total phospholipid content was lower, triglyceride content higher, and phospholipid: neutral lipid ratio lower in direct correlation to the degree of differentiation in these cultures. When grown at the air-medium interface on the-epidermized dermis, evidence of further morphologic differentiation was found only for well-differentiated SCC cells and normal keratinocytes. Similarly, the phospholipid content remained high in poorly differentiated SCC cells and it, decreased modestly in well-differentiated SCC cells and markedly in normal keratinocytes. In all cell lines the triglyceride content was increased and cholesterol content decreased when compared to parallel submerged cultures, but these differences were most pronounced in well-differentiated cell lines. Acylceramides and acylglucosylceramides were found only in normal keratinocytes and only under the most differentiation-enhancing conditions. These studies demonstrate differentiation-related changes in the lipid content of both normal and neoplastic keratinocytes.

Accumulation of osmoprotectants and lipid pattern modulation in response to growth conditions by Halomonas pantelleriense

The effects of salinity, growth temperature, pH and composition of the medium on the accumulation of intracellular organic solutes, by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) in Halomonas pantelleriense were examined. The modulation of lipid pattern in different growth conditions was also reported. H. pantelleriense accumulated glycine betaine, ectoine, hydroxyectoine and glutamate. The type of osmoprotectant and the relative proportion depended on growth conditions. The main lipids identified by NMR studies were 1,2 diacylglycero-3-phosphorylethanolamine (PEA), 1,2 diacylglycero-3-phosphoryl-glycerol (PG) and cardiolipin, (DPG). The predominant fatty acids were C16:0 and C18:1, minor fatty acids were C16:1 and C18:0. The relative percentage of polar lipids and fatty acids were affected by growth conditions.
