Whey as a renewable source for lipid production by Rhodococcus strains: Physiology and genomics of lactose and galactose utilization

Abstract: We investigated biomass and lipid production from whey by different Rhodococcus strains. The studied microorganisms exhibited different capability for growing and producing lipids from whey permeate. Strains belonging to R. opacus exhibited high yields of biomass (6.1-6.3 g/L) and lipid content (45-48% of CDW), whereas R. jostii, R. erythropolis, R. fascians, and R. equi strains produced low biomass (1.8-2.9 g/L) and lipids (lesser than 5% of CDW) from whey. Lactose and galactose, which are main constituents o… Show more

“…Marcia and Alvarez investigated the production of microbial oil and biomass. Five strains of Rhodococcus were cultured on whey, and the results showed that Rhodococcus opacus produced more than 45% lipid and the remaining bacteria produced less than 5% lipid [41]. The results of the Marcia and Alvarez study indicate that all Rhodococcus bacteria are not capable of using whey for lipid production, but in the present study, the native isolate of Kocuria Y205 could produce the highest amount of lipid production from the whey substrate, indicating bacterial adaptation for lipid production from whey.…”

“…A temperature program was used to efficiently separate the methyl esters (90°C for 5 min, temperature increase of 6°C/min, 220°C for 10 min). For quantitative analysis, tridecanoic acid was used as an internal standard [41]. GC analysis was performed on lignocellulose carbon source samples.…”

“…Very low growth with final biomasses of under 0.5 g L −1 were determined for cultures with galactose, lactose, and maltose. The inability to grow on galactose and lactose was reported in other Rhodococcus strains, such as R. jostii , R. erythropolis , R. fascians , and R. equi [ 50 ]. The only strain capable of growth on these carbon sources was R. opacus [ 50 ], which is also reported to grow on maltose [ 51 ].…”

“…Hence, cheese whey represents a potential growth medium in biotechnological processes due to its nutritional profile [48]. Several researchers tried to optimize the bioprocess for producing microbial oil from cheese whey or its permeate [48,49,50,51,52,53,54]. Table 1 shows the yield of lipids produced by various microorganisms with cheese whey as feedstock.…”
