Statistical optimisation of cell growth and carotenoid production by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa

Abstract: Sequential statistical methods were used to maximise carotenoid production by a strain of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, isolated from the Brazilian ecosystem. Initially, a factorial 2 5-1 experimental design was used, and the variables were pH and the levels of glucose, yeast extract,

“…The carotenoid composition was determined according to procedures described by Maldonade et al 16 Freeze-dried samples were macerated with Hyflosupercel with a pestle and mortar and exhaustively extracted with acetone. The carotenoids were transferred to petroleum ether in a separatory funnel by the addition of water and washed free of acetone.…”

“…R. mucilaginosa is commonly found in humans, animals, food and beverages (Wirth and Goldani, 2012;Deligios et al, 2015). Over the years, this species has been widely studied for its carotenoids production (Aksu and Eren, 2005;Maldonade et al, 2012). The ability of this yeast to accumulate high oil content has also been reported, but most of these studies only highlighted its substrate utilization Reyna-Martinez et al, 2015;Gientka et al, 2017).…”

“…Accordingly, a number of strains of R . mucilaginosa have been explored for the commercial production of carotenoids, mainly β ‐carotene, torulene and torularhodin (Aksu and Eren, ; Maldonade et al ., ), for liquid bioremediation processes (Jarboui et al ., ), for heavy metal biotransformation (Rajpert et al ., ) and for their antifungal and plant growth‐promoting actions (Ignatova et al ., ). In addition, there is also interest concerning their role as emergent opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised individuals (Wirth and Goldani, ).…”
