Microbial production of lipid substances using waste substrates
Árendásová, Veronika ; Szotkowski, Martin (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis examines the issue of lipid production, done through selected Metschnikowia strains gained from waste starch substrates. Produced lipids are extensively used in biotechnological processes. Cultivation utilised waste starch substrates, left over from food production, as they constituted an available and economical material. The study also monitored the growth of individual Metschnikowia strains in laboratory and reduced temperatures, using an optimal medium. The yeast’s production properties were analysed by means of gas chromatography. All selected Metschnikowia strains were able to produce lipid from waste substrates. Lipid production increased when a mixture of glucose and waste substrates was used. The amount of lipids and the share of fatty acids strongly depended on the strain and cultivation conditions. In all examined strains, monounsaturated fatty acids were represented most strongly. The Metschnikowia pulcherima 149 adapted best to waste substrates.
