Influence of substrate supply on the production of sophorose lipids by Candida bombicola ATCC 22214

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Candida (Torulopsis) bombicola ATCC 22214 produces 180 g/l sophorose lipids using glucose and oleic acid (technical grade) as combined substrates in an extended fed-batch cultivation. Excess of oleic acid generated a paste-like product. However, only when oleic acid was not detectable during the whole run of cultivation, a microcrystalline product precipitated. The unsaturated C-18 fatty acids of the technical grade oleic acid were transferred unchanged into the sophorose lipid.
