ABSTRACT

This study aimed the optimization of culture condition and composition for production of Cryptococcus laurentii 11 biomass and lipids in cheese whey medium supplemented with sugarcane molasses. The optimization of pH, fermentation time, and molasses concentration according to a full factorial statistical experimental design was followed by a Plackett-Burman experimental design, which was used to determine whether the supplementation of the culture medium by yeast extract and inorganic salts could provide a further enhancement of lipids production. The following conditions and composition of the culture medium were found to optimize biomass and lipids production: 360 h fermentation, 6.5 pH and supplementation of (g L-1): 50 molasses, 0.5 yeast extract, 4 KH2PO4, 1 Na2HPO4, 0.75 MgSO4•7H2O and 0.002 ZnSO4•H2O. Additional supplementation with inorganic salts and yeast extract was essential to optimize the production, in terms of product concentration and productivity, of neutral lipids by C. laurentii 11. Under this optimized condition, the production of total lipids increased by 133% in relation to control experiment (from 1.27 to 2.96 g L-1). The total lipids indicated a predominant (86%) presence of neutral lipids with high content of 16- and 18- carbon-chain saturated and monosaturated fatty acids. This class of lipids is considered especially suitable for the production of biodiesel.

ABSTRACT

Uma linhagem de Acinetobacter baumanii, isolada da rizosfera de cana-de-açúcar, cultivada em solos tratados com Diuron foi incubada em diferentes substratos para verificar a presença de catecol 1,2--dioxigenase (pirocatecase). Diferentes indutores foram adicionados ao meio de cultura (glicose, benzoato de sódio, Diuron, dicloroanilina, benzoato de sódio + glicose). As células bacterianas, obtidas pelo processo fermentativo, foram coletadas após centrifugação e rompidas por sonificação para extração da enzima intracelular. A linhagem apresentou alta atividade enzimática quando benzoato de sódio ou benzoato de sódio + glicose ou benzoato de sódio + dicloroanilina foram adicionados ao meio de cultura. A atividade enzimótica acompanhou a produção de biomassa. No estudo da cinética de crescimento, usando Diuron como fonte de carbono e em tres diferentes pH, essa linhagem apresentou melhor resultado quando cultivada em pH6.8. Verificou-se pela avaliação da capacidade de A. baumanii transformar o Diuron, que o metabólito 3,4-dicloroanilina (3,4-DCA) não foi produzido
