Optimization of carotenoid production by a mutant of Rhodotorula glutinis.
The growth and carotenoid production was optimized in shake flasks using a two-level, three-variable factorial design.
The volumetric carotenoid production could be increased to 129 +/- 2 mg x 1(-1) in a medium containing (g x l(-1)) yeast extract 11.74, glucose 46 and threonine 18 along with other micronutrients, wherein, beta-carotene yield was 102 +/- 2 mg x l(-1), accounting for 80% of the total carotenoids.
The medium optimization resulted in a fourfold increase in volumetric production and a twofold increase in the cellular accumulation of carotenoids. In view of such high yields, the mutant of Rhodotorula glutinis can be a potential source of beta-carotene.
优化粘红酵母突变体的类胡萝卜素产量。
采用两水平、三变量析因设计在摇瓶中优化生长和类胡萝卜素产量。
在含有(克/升)酵母提取物11.74、葡萄糖46和苏氨酸18以及其他微量营养素的培养基中,类胡萝卜素体积产量可提高到129±2毫克/升,其中β-胡萝卜素产量为102±2毫克/升,占总类胡萝卜素的80%。
培养基优化使体积产量提高了四倍,类胡萝卜素的细胞积累增加了两倍。鉴于如此高的产量,粘红酵母突变体可能是β-胡萝卜素的潜在来源。
