Investigation of Crypthecodinium cohnii High-Cell-Density Fed-Batch Cultivations

Abstract

Crypthecodinium cohnii is a marine microalga that can accumulate high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and thus replace conventional routes of fish oil production. They are associated with the destruction of marine resources and multiple downstream/purification complications. The major drawbacks of using C. cohnii for industrial-scale production are associated with low PUFA productivity. One of the means of increasing the PUFA synthesis rate is to maintain the medium component concentrations at optimal values throughout cultivation, thus increasing PUFA production efficiency, which can result in the successful transfer of the process to pilot and/or industrial scale. The goal of the present research was to develop techniques for increasing the efficiency of PUFA production via C. cohnii cultivation. Multiple experiments were carried out to test and fine-tune the cultivation medium composition and oxygen transfer factors. The biomass yields from individual components, yeast extract, sea salts, and glucose amounted to 5.5, 0.65, and 0.61 g·g−1, respectively. C. cohnii cell susceptibility to mechanical damage was experimentally evaluated. Power inputs of <276.5 W/m3 did not seem to promote cell destruction when Pitched-blade impellers were used. The obtained cultivation conditions were shown to be efficient in terms of increasing the biomass productivity and the omega-3 fatty acid content in C. cohnii. By using the applied methods, the maximal biomass productivity reached 8.0 g·L−1·day−1, while the highest obtained biomass concentration reached 110 g·L−1. A steady increase in the concentration of PUFAs during cultivation was observed from the FTIR data.
