Production of Astaxanthin by Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous ZJUT46 with Fed-Batch Fermentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Astaxanthin is a main carotenoid pigment. Fed-batch fermentation bioprocesses of astaxanthin in 2.0 M fermentor have been investigated. Moreover, pH shift control was employed in fed-batch fermentation at 2.0 M scale. The results of astaxanthin fermentation showed that the fed-batch fermentation with pH shift strategy was the best among all the experiments, and the maximum astaxanthin concentration of 39.47 mg/L was achieved at 132 h.

Efficiency of selected mutagens in generating Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous strains hyperproducing astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin is a xanthophill pigment with commercial application in the aquaculture, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. The red yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is one of the most promising microorganisms for its industrial production. However, astaxanthin content in wild yeast strains is low. Pigment production by X. dendrorhous can be improved by mutagenesis. The aim of the stud...

BACKGROUND Red yeast, Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is the only yeast known to produce astaxanthin, an anti-oxidant isoprenoid (carotenoid) widely used in the aquaculture, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The potential of this microorganism as a platform cell factory for isoprenoid production has been recognized because of high flux through its native terpene pathway. Recently, we ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Astaxanthin as a Main Carotenoid in the Heterobasidiomycetous Yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous
Carotenoids are organic lipophilic yellow to orange and reddish pigments of terpenoid nature that are usually composed of eight isoprene units. This group of secondary metabolites includes carotenes and xanthophylls, which can be naturally obtained from photosynthetic organisms, some fungi, and bacteria. One of the microorganisms able to synthesise carotenoids is the heterobasidiomycetous yeast...

BACKGROUND Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycetous yeast that is relevant to biotechnology, as it can synthesize the carotenoid astaxanthin. However, the astaxanthin levels produced by wild-type strains are low. Although different approaches for promoting increased astaxanthin production have been attempted, no commercially competitive results have been obtained thus far. A promising...
متن کاملEffects of oxygen supply on growth and carotenoids accumulation by Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous.
The effects of oxygen supply on growth and carotenoids accumulation by Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous were studied. Initial volumetric oxygen transfer coefficients (K(L)a) within the range 21.5-148.5 h(-1) had significant effects on growth and carotenoids accumulation, and an increase of the initial K(L)a value led to higher carotenoids, astaxanthin and biomass yields by X. dendrorhous. At an in...
