Influence of process parameters on single-cell oil production by Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosus using response surface methodology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The growing demand for sustainable lipid sources has fostered interest in single-cell oils from oleaginous yeasts as renewable alternatives to plant-derived and fossil-based oils, with applications in food, fuel, and material production. The oleaginous yeast Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosus is of industrial relevance due to its ability to accumulate in excess of 60% (w/w) of its dry cell weight as lipids, while metabolizing a broad range of substrates. However, economic feasibility depends on improving productivity and adapting fatty acid profiles to application requirements.

Results

This study investigated the influence of temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) on lipid production and fatty acid composition in C. oleaginosus ATCC 20509. A three-l
