Abstract

The present study was carried out to optimize some culture conditions to increase lipid production from Yarrowia lipolytica B9 in crude glycerol-based medium. The experiments displayed that too high concentrations of ammonium sulfate, KH2PO4, and MgSO4 increased cell growth but inhibited lipid synthesis. In contrast, more synthesis of lipids was determined to be achived at high concentrations of NaCl. The optimum concentrations of glycerol, ammonium sulfate, KH2PO4, MgSO4, and NaCl for lipid synthesis were determined as 50, 3, 1.5, 1 and 5 g/L, respectively. The optimal incubation time for lipid synthesis was found to be 6 days. Lipid concentration of 2.69 g/L and lipid content of 60.1%, were reached under optimal culture conditions.
