Comparative Glucose and Xylose Coutilization Efficiencies of Soil-Isolated Yeast Strains Identify Cutaneotrichosporon dermatis as a Potential Producer of Lipid.

ABSTRACT: Glucose and xylose are the major hydrolysates of lignocellulose, and therefore, it is of great implication to identify the microbes involved in simultaneous utilization of glucose and xylose. In this study, the strain ZZ-46 isolated from the soil of Nanyang, China, could simultaneously assimilate glucose and xylose efficiently to produce lipid. Upon cultivation with a 2:1 glucose/xylose mixture as the carbon source for 144 h, the cell biomass, lipid concentration, lipid content, and lipid yield of ZZ-46 reached 19.85 ± 0.39 g/L, 9.53 ± 0.60 g/L, 48.05 ± 3.51%, and 0.142 ± 0.003 g/g sugar, respectively. Moreover, C16 and C18 fatty acids were the main constituents of lipid produced by ZZ-46. In addition, ZZ-46 was identified as Cutaneotrichosporon dermatis by the morphology features and phylogenetic analyses. The strain ZZ-46 would have good perspective in practical application for converting lignocellulose into microbial lipid.

Project description:BackgroundSustainable production of oil for food, feed, fuels and other lipid-based chemicals is essential to meet the demand of the increasing human population. Consequently, novel and sustainable resources such as lignocellulosic hydrolysates and processes involving these must be explored. In this paper we screened for naturally-occurring xylose utilizing oleaginous yeasts as cell factories for lipid production, since pentose sugar catabolism plays a major role in efficient utilization of lignocellulosic feedstocks. Glycerol utilization, which is also beneficial in yeast-based oil production as glycerol is a common by-product of biodiesel production, was investigated as well. Natural yeast isolates were studied for lipid accumulation on a variety of substrates, and the highest lipid accumulating strains were further investigated in shake flask cultivations and fermenter studies on xylose and hydrolysate.ResultsBy collecting leaves from exotic plants in greenhouses and selective cultivation on xylose, a high frequency of oleaginous yeasts was obtained (> 40%). Different cultivation conditions lead to differences in fatty acid contents and compositions, resulting in a set of strains that can be used to select candidate production strains for different purposes. In this study, the most prominent strains were identified as Pseudozyma hubeiensis BOT-O and Rhodosporidium toruloides BOT-A2. The fatty acid levels per cell dry weight after cultivation in a nitrogen limited medium with either glucose, xylose or glycerol as carbon source, respectively, were 46.8, 43.2 and 38.9% for P. hubeiensis BOT-O, and 40.4, 27.3 and 42.1% for BOT-A2. Furthermore, BOT-A2 accumulated 45.1% fatty acids per cell dry weight in a natural plant hydrolysate, and P. hubeiensis BOT-O showed simultaneous glucose and xylose consumption with similar growth rates on both carbon sources. The fatty acid analysis demonstrated both long chain and poly-unsaturated fatty acids, depending on strain and medium.ConclusionsWe found various natural yeast isolates with high lipid production capabilities and the ability to grow not only on glucose, but also xylose, glycerol and natural plant hydrolysate. R. toruloides BOT-A2 and P. hubeiensis BOT-O specifically showed great potential as production strains with high levels of storage lipids and comparable growth to that on glucose on various other substrates, especially compared to currently used lipid production strains. In BOT-O, glucose repression was not detected, making it particularly desirable for utilization of plant waste hydrolysates. Furthermore, the isolated strains were shown to produce oils with fatty acid profiles similar to that of various plant oils, making them interesting for future applications in fuel, food or feed production.
