Studies on lipid production by Rhodotorula glutinis fermentation using monosodium glutamate wastewater as culture medium

The Challenge of Bioenergies: An Overview

“…To be efficient, the fermentation process needs a complementary source of glucose to obtain the proper C:N:P ratio (1:2.4:0.005). This process leads to a lipid production corresponding to 20% of the biomass after 72 h of culture and to an oil transesterification rate of 92% (Xue et al, 2008). In addition, R. glutinis can use various carbon sources including dextrose, xylose, glycerol, dextrose and xylose, xylose and glycerol, or dextrose and glycerol and can accumulate 16, 12, 25, 10, 21, and 34% triglycerides, respectively.…”

Lipid production by Rhodosporidium toruloides Y4 using different substrate feeding strategies

“…Thus, various natural or waste materials such as Jerusalem artichoke [26], biomass hydrolysate [7] and wastewater [23] have been explored as feedstocks to lower production costs. At the same time, costs could also be signiWcantly reduced by productivity improvement.…”

Enhancement of Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase Production fromRhodotorula Mucilaginosaby Optimization of Culture Conditions in Batch and Fed-Batch

“…cell amounts were reported on a dry weight basis. Dry cell weight (DcW) was measured after the cells were washed twice with distilled water and dried to a constant weight at 80 °c (26). the concentration of reducing sugar was determined by the nitrosalicylic acid (DnS) method with glucose as the standard (18).…”
