Biotechnological valorization of some food wastes by yeasts
Majdloch, Robert ; Bendová, Agáta (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with biotechnological valorisation of waste substrates, namely waste fat, whey and feathers using carotenogenic yeast. Waste substrates serve as alternative source of nutrients for subsequent cultivation, thanks to this, their utilization and subsequent production of carotenoids, ergosterol, coenzyme Q and lipids occurs. The theoretical part contains the information of selected strains of carotenogenic yeast, such as physiological and growth properties. Their metabolic processes are described together with produced substances. The analytical methods for the determination of substances are described as well. The experimental part focuses on the solution of flask and bioreactor cultivations of four selected strains (Rhodotorula kratochvilovae, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Cystofilobasidium macerans a Sporidiobolus pararoseus) on glucose, glycerol and waste substrate at different C/N ratios (13, 25, 50 and 100). Furthermore, individual procedures of waste substrate processing, procedures solving isolation and determination of selected carotenoid substances, which were analysed by HPLC/DAD. Lipid content and their percentage amount were determined by GC/FID. The results of flask and bioreactor cultivations show that the strains have different production at individual C/N ratios. Rhodotorula mucilaginosa strain was selected as the best producer of carotenoids and ergosterol. The highest increases in biomass were achieved by Rhodotorula kratochvilovae strain. Lipid production was the best in the Sporidiobolus pararoseus strain.
