Effect of supplementation, temperature and pH on carotenoids and lipids production by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa on sisal bagasse hydrolyzate

Rhodotorula mucilaginosa—alternative sources of natural carotenoids, lipids, and enzymes for industrial use

“…Contingent on the cultivated environments, it has the capability to produce varied kinds of enzymes whose emergence may be industrially useful ( Zhang and Cui, 2012 ; Wu et al., 2013 ; Lario et al., 2015 ). Furthermore, the biosynthetic pathways of carotenoid, lipid, and enzyme production in R. mucilaginosa and the influences of specific fermentation factors on their productivity have been documented previously ( Kot et al., 2016 ; da Silva et al., 2020 ).…”

“…The conducted study showed the effect of temperature on R. mucilaginosa CCT 3892 carotenoid generation. The results were observed that the highest volumetric production of carotenoids (1.13 g/L) is cultured at 22 °C, while the lowest carotenoid (0.34 g/L) at 34 °C ( da Silva et al., 2020 ). Previous study also indicated the increased temperature (up to 28 °C) accompanied with the rising carotenoid formation rates (2.43 mg/L), while sharply reduces above 35 °C (0.60 mg/L) in all cultivated R. mucilaginosa isolates ( Allahkarami et al., 2021 ).…”

“…Besides, R . mucilaginosa can suit a variety of environmental conditions, and the biomass can grow under a broad range of carbon and nitrogen sources ( da Silva et al., 2020 ; Rodrigues et al., 2022 ). These advantages are both directly favorable conditions for carotenoids production in R .…”

Biological Approaches for Extraction of Bioactive Compounds From Agro-industrial By-products: A Review

“…The production of bioactive compounds through fermentation can be carried out with various microorganisms and their respective species (bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, and others) (Moreira et al, 2018;Shin et al, 2019;Gulsunoglu et al, 2020;Jiang et al, 2020;Silva et al, 2020;Sinha et al,…”

“…One of them refers to co-production, which is costefficient and meets the sustainable context of the circular economy. Some examples include the simultaneous production of antioxidant compounds and proteolytic enzymes (Lemes et al, 2016a); lignocellulolytic enzymes and phenolic compounds (Leite et al, 2019); xylanases and xylooligomers (Menezes et al, 2017;Pereira et al, 2018); proteolytic enzymes and protein hydrolysates (Bernardo et al, 2019); lipids and carotenoids (Kot et al, 2019;Costa et al, 2020;Silva et al, 2020); and antioxidant peptides and pigments (Bertolini et al, 2021), among others.…”
