Introduction<br />
During the last decades fast progress has been made<br />
within the field of biochemistry of carotenoid biosynthesis<br />
in bacteria, fungi, and plants. Although more than 600 different<br />
carotenoids have been identified in nature, only a few<br />
are used industrially. There are many yeast strains able to<br />
produce different carotenoids. However, the heterobasidiomycetous<br />
yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, are the<br />
only microbial systems with commercial potentials for the<br />
production of astaxanthin. Several genes involved in the astaxanthin<br />
biosynthetic pathway of X. dendrorhous have been<br />
cloned and characterized recently. Analysis of DnA in other<br />
red yeast is very complicated and only several genes were<br />
described yet.<br />
There are many yeast strains able to produce different<br />
carotenoids, mainly as a part of stress response. In this work<br />
three different red yeast strains (Sporobolomyces roseus,<br />
Rhodotorula glutinis, Rhodotorula rubra) were enrolled into<br />
a comparative study. To increase the yield of carotenoid pigments<br />
at improved biomass production, several types of exogenous<br />
as well as nutrition stress were tested. Each strain was<br />
cultivated at optimal growth conditions and in medium with<br />
modified carbon and nitrogen sources. Synthetic media with<br />
addition of complex substrates (e.g. yeast extract) and vitamin<br />
mixtures as well as some waste materials (whey, potato<br />
extract) were used as nutrient source. Some types of exogenous<br />
stress – peroxide, salt were applied too. The production<br />
of carotene-enriched biomass was carried out in flasks as well<br />
as in laboratory fermentor. Changes in yeast cells on metabolome<br />
level were studied using LC/MS techniques to carotenoid<br />
analysis.<br />
Materials and Methods<br />
S t r a i n s<br />
In the study following red yeast strains were tested: Rhodotorula<br />
glutinis CCY 20-2-26, Sporobolomyces roseus CCY<br />
19-4-8; Rhodotorula rubra CCY 20-7-31; Phaffia rhodozyma<br />
CCY 77-1-1, Sporobolomyces salmonicolor CCY 19-4-10.<br />
C u l t i v a t i o n<br />
Red yeasts were cultivated in a simple glucose medium<br />
aerobically at 28 °C. Physilogical stress was induced by nutri-<br />
s615<br />
tion components (C and n source) and by addition of 5 mM<br />
peroxide and 2% and/or 5 % naCl. Stress cultivations with S.<br />
salmonicolor, R. glutinis and P. rhodozyma were realized in<br />
flasks as well as in 2 L-laboratory fermentor (B.Braun Biotech).<br />
Three series of cultivations were realized with each<br />
strain. Two-step inoculation was done. All strains were firstly<br />
inoculated into a medium containing yeast autolysate (7 g),<br />
(nH 4 ) 2 SO 4 (5 g), glucose (40 g), KH 2 PO 4 (5 g), MgSO 4<br />
(0.34 g) per liter (InO I) and cultivated at 28 °C for 24 hours<br />
at permanent shaking and lighting. Second inoculum (InO II)<br />
was prepared similarly, in 1 st series was used the same<br />
medium as InO I, in 2 nd series lyophilized whey was added<br />
(7 g dm –3 ) and in 3 rd series potato extract (7 g dm –3 ) was<br />
added into InO II. Cultivation in InO II undergo at 28 °C<br />
for 24 hours at permanent shaking and lighting. Production<br />
media contained (nH 4 ) 2 SO 4 (5 g), glucose (40 g), KH 2 PO 4<br />
(5 g), MgSO 4 (0.34 g) per liter. Several waste substrates were<br />
added and cultivation was done for 80 hours at 28 °C under<br />
permanent lighting and shaking. Production media were pre-<br />
pared according to following scheme:<br />
•<br />
•<br />
•<br />
1 st series: InO I --- InO II --- production: 1 – control,<br />
2 – 5 mM peroxide, 3 – 2% naCl, 4 – 5% naCl,<br />
5 – lyophillized whey non-processed (7 g dm –3 ), 6<br />
– lyophillized whey processed by deproteination agent<br />
(7 g dm –3 ), 7 – liquid whey (250 ml dm –3 ), 8 – potato<br />
extract (Hi Media; 7 g dm –3 )<br />
2 nd series: InO I --- InO II (whey, 7 g dm –3 ) --- production:<br />
1 – control, 2 – 5 mM peroxide, 3 – 2% naCl,<br />
4 – 5% naCl, 5 – lyophillized whey non-processed<br />
(7 g dm –3 ), 6 – lyophillized whey processed by deproteination<br />
agent (7 g dm –3 ), 7 – liquid whey (250 ml dm –3 )<br />
3 rd series: InO I --- InO II (potato extract 7 g dm –3 ) --<br />
- production: 1 – control, 2 – 5 mM peroxide, 3 – 2%<br />
naCl, 4 – 5% naCl, 5 – potato extract (7 g dm –3 ).<br />
A n a l y z e d P a r a m e t e r s<br />
In all samples biomass and carotenoid content were evaluated.<br />
Biomass was determined gravimetrically. Levels of<br />
carotenoids – lycopene and beta-carotene were analyzed using<br />
HPLC/VIS (450 nm) and verified by HPLC/MS. Ergosterol<br />
and phytoene were analyzed by RP-HPLC (280 nm).<br />
Results<br />
In this work the growth of some red yeasts on waste substrates<br />
and subsequent effect of these substrates on beta-carotene<br />
production was studied. It was observed that addition<br />
of non-processed or deproteined whey or potato extract to<br />
media can increase beta-carotene production.<br />
In Rhodotorula glutinis addition of deproteined whey<br />
into production medium led to <strong>3.</strong>5 × increased production of<br />
beta-carotene without changes in biomass. non-processed<br />
whey or potato extract added to production media led to<br />
about 3 × increase of beta-carotene production but it was<br />
accompanied by lost in biomass. The highest yield was reached<br />
after addition of lyophillized whey to InO II as well as
