Strategic Feeding of Ammonium and Metal Ions for Enhanced GLA-Rich Lipid Accumulation inCunninghamella bainieri2A1

Abstract: Strategic feeding of ammonium and metal ions (Mg2+, Mn2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Co2+, and Zn2+) for enhanced GLA-rich lipid accumulation in C. bainieri 2A1 was established. When cultivated in nitrogen-limited medium, the fungus produced up to 30% lipid (g/g biomass) with 12.9% (g/g lipid) GLA. However, the accumulation of lipid stopped at 48 hours of cultivation although glucose was abundant. This event occurred in parallel to the diminishing activity of malic enzyme (ME), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and ATP citrat… Show more

“…It is well known that C. bainieri 2A1 is capable of producing up to 30% lipid (g/g biomass) which contains 10–15% GLA. In this regard, nutritional intake of GLA and other PUFAs have been used in clinical treatment of human diseases such as blood cholesterol, acute and chronic inflammations, and atopic eczema, hypertension, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma (Shuib et al, 2014, Stoll, 2002, Vadivelan and Venkateswaran, 2014).…”

“…Mg, K, Na, Fe, Zn, Co). It is also affected by limited nitrogen concentration that inhibits the activation of the NAD isocitrate dehydrogenase resulting in accumulation of citrate and increased acetyl-CoA and lipid synthesis (Tsakona et al, 2014;Shuib et al, 2014;Calvey at al., 2016). Therefore, the results of this study indicate that the used AIW contained sufficient metal and nitrogen sources for lipid accumulation in L. starkeyi.…”
