Mucoromycota fungi are important producers of low- and high-value lipids. is used for arachidonic acid production at industrial scale. In addition, oleaginous Mucoromycota fungi are promising candidates for biodiesel production. A critical step in the development of such biotechnological applications is the selection of suitable strains for lipid production. The aim of the present study was to use the Duetz-microtiter plate system combined with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for high-throughput screening of the potential of 100 Mucoromycota strains to produce low- and high-value lipids.
With this reproducible, high-throughput method, we found several promising strains for high-value omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and biodiesel production purposes. Gamma-linolenic acid content was the highest in UBOCC-A-109196 (24.5% of total fatty acids), and VKM F-470 (24.0%). For the first time, we observed concomitant gamma-linolenic acid and alpha-linolenic acid (up to 13.0%) production in psychrophilic strains. Arachidonic acid was present the highest amount in ATCC 32222 (41.1% of total fatty acids). Low cultivation temperature (15 °C) activated the temperature sensitive ∆17 desaturase enzyme in spp., resulting in eicosapentaenoic acid production with up to 11.0% of total fatty acids in VKM F-1494. CCM-705, CCM F-539 and UBOCC-A-101347 showed very good growth (23-26 g/L) and lipid production (7.0-8.3 g/L) with high palmitic and oleic acid, and low PUFA content, which makes them attractive candidates for biodiesel production. CCM 451 had the highest total lipid content (47.2% of biomass) of all tested strains. We also demonstrated the potential of FTIR spectroscopy for high-throughput screening of total lipid content of oleaginous fungi.
The use of Duetz-microtiter plate system combined with FTIR spectroscopy and multivariate analysis, is a feasible approach for high-throughput screening of lipid production in Mucoromycota fungi. Several promising strains have been identified by this method for the production of high-value PUFA and biodiesel.
毛霉目真菌是低价值和高价值脂质的重要生产者。被用于工业规模的花生四烯酸生产。此外,产油毛霉目真菌是生物柴油生产的有前途的候选者。开发此类生物技术应用的关键步骤是选择适合脂质生产的菌株。本研究的目的是使用杜茨微量滴定板系统结合傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱对100株毛霉目菌株生产低价值和高价值脂质的潜力进行高通量筛选。
通过这种可重复的高通量方法,我们发现了几种有前途的菌株,可用于生产高价值的ω-6多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)和生物柴油。γ-亚麻酸含量在UBOCC-A-109196中最高(占总脂肪酸的24.5%),在VKM F-470中为24.0%。我们首次在嗜冷菌株中观察到γ-亚麻酸和α-亚麻酸(高达13.0%)的同时产生。花生四烯酸在ATCC 32222中含量最高(占总脂肪酸的41.1%)。低培养温度(15°C)激活了spp.中对温度敏感的∆17去饱和酶,导致在VKM F-1494中二十碳五烯酸的产生,占总脂肪酸的11.0%。CCM-705、CCM F-539和UBOCC-A-101347表现出非常好的生长(23-26 g/L)和脂质生产(7.0-8.3 g/L),棕榈酸和油酸含量高,PUFA含量低,这使其成为生物柴油生产的有吸引力的候选者。CCM 451在所有测试菌株中总脂质含量最高(占生物量的47.2%)。我们还证明了FTIR光谱在高通量筛选产油真菌总脂质含量方面的潜力。
使用杜茨微量滴定板系统结合FTIR光谱和多变量分析,是一种对毛霉目真菌脂质生产进行高通量筛选的可行方法。通过这种方法已鉴定出几种有前途的菌株,用于生产高价值PUFA和生物柴油。
