ABSTRACT
In this study lignocellulosic sugars from Norway spruce were used for production of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by the marine thraustochytrid Aurantiochytrium limacinum SR21. Enzymatically prepared spruce hydrolysate was combined with a complex nitrogen source and different amounts of salts. Shake flask batch cultivations revealed that addition of extra salts was not needed for optimal growth. Upscaling to fed-batch bioreactors yielded up to 55 g/L cell dry mass and a total fatty acid content of 44% (w/w) out of which 1/3 was DHA. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was successfully applied as a rapid method for monitoring lipid accumulation in A. limacinum SR21. Thus, this proof-of-principle study clearly demonstrates that crude spruce hydrolysates can be directly used as a novel and sustainable resource for production of DHA.
