Effects of Alcohol Compounds on the Growth and Lipid Accumulation of Oleaginous Yeast Trichosporon fermentans
Figure 3
Effect of temperature on the inhibition of alcohol compounds.
All alcohol compounds were tested at their respective concentration of IC50. Cultures with 5% inoculum size were incubated at initial pH 6.5 and 160 rpm for 7 days. Results are expressed relative to controls without organic acids. Biomass, lipid content and lipid yield of cultures lacking organic acids at 22°C, 25°C and 28°C were 19.9 g/L, 55.8% and 11.1 g/L; 24.0 g/L, 61.7% and 14.8 g/L; 23.6 g/L, 58.9% and 13.9 g/L, respectively. Abbreviations: Ca, catechol; Hy, Hydroquinone; Fu, Furfuryl alcohol; Va, Vanillyl alcohol.
