Single Amino Acids as Sole Nitrogen Source for the Production of Lipids and Coenzyme Q by Thraustochytrium sp. RT2316-16.

ABSTRACT: This work analyzes the production of total lipids and the content of CoQ₉ and CoQ₁₀ in the biomass of Thraustochytrium sp. RT2316-16 grown in media containing a single amino acid at a concentration of 1 g L^-1 as the sole nitrogen source; glucose (5 g L^-1) was used as the carbon source. Biomass concentration and the content of total lipids and CoQ were determined as a function of the incubation time; ten amino acids were evaluated. The final concentration of the total biomass was found to be between 2.2 ± 0.1 (aspartate) and 3.9 ± 0.1 g L^-1 (glutamate). The biomass grown in media containing glutamate, serine or phenylalanine reached a content of total lipids higher than 20% of the cell dry weight (DW) after 72, 60 and 72 h of inc
