Abstract

Dynamic behavior of Yarrowia lipolytica W29 strain under conditions of fluctuating, low, and limited oxygen supply was characterized in batch and glucose-limited chemostat cultures. In batch cultures, transient oscillations between oxygen-rich and -deprived environments induced a slight citric acid accumulation (lower than 29 mg L−1). By contrast, no citric acid was detected in continuous fermentations for all stress conditions: full anoxia (zero pO2 value, 100% N2), limited (zero pO2 value, 75% of cell needs), and low (pO2 close to 2%) dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. The macroscopic behavior (kinetic parameters, yields, viability) of Y. lipolytica was not significantly affected by the exposure to DO fluctuations under both modes of culture. Nevertheless, conditions of oxygen limitation resulted in the destabilization of the glucose-limited growth during the continuous cultivations. Morphological responses of Y. lipolytica to DO oscillations were different between batch and chemostat runs. Indeed, a yeast-to-mycelium transition was induced and progressively intensified during the batch fermentations (filamentous subpopulation reaching 74% (v/v)). While, in chemostat bioreactors, the culture consisted mainly of yeast-like cells (mean diameter not exceeding 5.7 μm) with a normal size distribution. During the continuous cultures, growth at low DO concentration did not induce any changes in Y. lipolytica morphology. Dimorphism (up to 80.5% (v/v) of filaments) was only detected under conditions of oxygen limitation in the presence of a residual glucose excess (more than 0.75 g L−1). These data suggest an impact of glucose levels on the signaling pathways regulating dimorphic responses in Y. lipolytica.
