Abstract
The invention comprises the use of obligately and facultatively marine eukaryotic microorganisms for the production of Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids that may be used in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. In the invention the microorganisms are grown heterotrophically, harvested, and extracted for lipid products.
Description
MICROORGANISM PRODUCTION OF OMEGA-3 (N-3) LIPIDS Field of the Invention This invention relates to fatty acid production from microorganisms. In particular, this invention relates to the use of obligately or facultatively marine eukaryotic microorganisms grown heterotrophically and the production of a group of highly polyunsaturated fatty acids known as Omega 3 or n-3 fatty acids. Background Information The biosynthesis of fats and oils by microbes such as yeasts, bacteria, molds, and algae is well established, and inventors have devised ways of optimizing the growth conditions for this biosynthesis. For example, yeasts or molds in mixed culture with bacteria and grown on mixtures of carbohydrates or hydrocarbons under aerobic fermentation conditions were found to produce numerous amino acids plus, in some cases, unspecified oil and fat. (U.S. Pat. No. 3,793,153). The disclosure of this reference and all others cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference. Yeasts such as Candida and Rhodotorula also produce singleeell protein and undifferentiated lipid from vegetable carbohydrates including starch (U.S. Pat. No. 4,230,806). Under aerobic conditions Candida tropicalis produces unsaturated dicarboxylic acids having 14 to 22 carbon atoms from unsaturated fatty acids or their esters (U.S. Pat. No. 4,474,882). Numerous yeasts dramatically increase their production of 1, 3disatuPated-2-unsaturated triglycerides, a predominant component of cacao butter, under high oxygen fermentation conditions in a growth medium containing one or more fatty acids having between 10 and 20 carbon atoms. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,485,173). Rhodococcus rhodochrous (formerly Nocardia aurantia) synthesizes hydroxy-fatty acids and ketoefatty acids, suchas 10^hydroxy*12octadecenoic acid and 10-hydroxysteric acid, under aerobic conditions by hydration of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic acid, respectively. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,582,804). Methods have also been devised to increase oil production and recovery from halophilic algae such as Dunaliella by growing the cells photosynthetically in a saline solution with a growth promoting enzyme and using water insoluble solvent extraction. The oils obtained had a carbon and nitrogen content similar to crude oil and were apparently saturated fatty acids and wax esters. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,341,038). Although the inventors of the cited patents and other investigators have determined ways to obtain and optimize fat and o-il production from certain microorganisms, none of these methods produces polyunsaturated fatty acids, and, in particular, they do not yield the highly polyunsaturated fatty acids designated Omega-3 or n-3 fatty acids. The Omega.3 and Omegas6 fatty acids are the two principal classes of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The Omega > 3 (or n*3) fatty acids have the first unsaturation (double bond) at the third carbon from the methyl (or Omega) end of the fatty acid, and the Omegae6 (or n*6) fatty acids have the first unsaturation at the sixth carbon from the methyl end of the molecule. The omega*6 fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, are common components of vegetable oils, such as corn oil. The microbial production of linoleic acid by culturing fungi of the Pellicularia genus has been elaborated (U.S. Pat. No. 4,281,064). The Omega*3 fatty acids are prominent components of some fish oils, although they are not synthesized by the fish but, instead, appear to be absorbed from their diets. These highly polyunsaturated fatty acids have been shown effective in humans in preventing or remedying cardiovascular disease and a number of auto-immune diseases, such as arthritis. They appear to be an essential nutrient Although an earlier fermentation process of the prokaryotic Streptomyces organisms (U.S. Pat. No. 3,127,315) produced a hypocholesterolemic agent referred to as M*850, it is clear from the extraction procedures used that this agent is not related to the Omega-3 fatty acids or their action. The focus of medical research on the fatty acids has been principally on two of the Omega > 3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA: a 20-carbon fatty acid having 5 unsaturations) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA: a 22¯carbon fatty acid having 6 unsaturations), although others of this class may prove to be important. It is widely recognized that the principal dietary sources of these chemical moieties for fish are photosynthetic algae and microalgae. The use of the marine microalga, Chlorella minutissima, to produce Omega*3 fatty acids photoautotrophically has been the subject of recent patents (U.S. Pat. No. 4,615,839 and Jap. Pat. Discl. No. Sho-61"63624). A process for preparation of eicosapentaenoic acid from linolenic acid using enzymes from microalgae and macroalgae also has been described (Jap. Pat. Discl. No. Sho*61*31092). In contrast, no method has been described heretofore to produce Omega"3 fatty acids from microbes that are grown heterotrophically, using as a nutrient a sugar, carbohydrate, or other source of pre-formed" carbon. Although a process for cultivating the freshwater microalga Chlorella mixotrophically on lower fatty acids to aid in disposing of organic wastes (U.S. Pat. No. 3,444,647) was developed, no product description is provided, and this species does not produce Omega-3 fatty acids. Summary of Invention This invention comprises use of certain heterotrophic and autotrophic eukaryotes grown heterotrophically to produce lipid that contains Omegas3 fatty acids as prominent constituents, and in use of this lipid or its constitutents in nutritional supplements; in foods for humans and other animals, including aquacultured species; and in drugs and pharmaceuticals. No prokaryote is known to synthesize Omega"3 fatty acids. Eukaryotic synthesis based on autotrophic growth of photosynthetic microalgae presents problems of light and nutrient provision that impair economic production. The inventor has determined that obligately or facultatively marine eukaryotes, including but not limited to fungi, thraustochytrids, microalgae (in particular, diatoms and dinoflagellates), and yeasts produce high concentrations of docosahexaenoic-acid and eicosapentaenoic acid when grown under heterotrophic growth conditions. Obligately freshwater (aquatic) heterotrophic eukaryotes do not appear to produce these chemicals. Conventional sources of Omegas3 fatty acids are oils from such fish as salmon, anchovies, sardines and menhaden. These fish oils in the unrefined form contain cholesterol. Depending on the environment and diet of the fish, these fish oils may also contain heavy metals and synthetic organic chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB's), dieldrin and aldrin. In addition to these disadvantages, the fish oils have an unpleasant fishy odor and taste. It is a further advantage of this invention to provide lipids containing Omega3 fatty acids that are not contaminated with heavy metals or undesirable synthetic organic chemicals. The invention also provides Omega*3 fatty acid products that do not have a strong fishy odor and taste. Detailed Description of the Invention This invention represents that selected heterotrophic eukaryotes that are either haloatolerant or halophilic, when cultured, cultivated, or fermented in a saltscontaining medium or one containing natural or artificial seawater, will produce Omega*3 fatty acids, including but not limited to EPA and DHA, as a significant percentage of total lipid. Furthermore, the use of such microorganisms yields a lipid fraction that is useful as a nutritional supplement; as a food additive in margarines, cooking oils, salad dressings, baked products, infant nutritional formulae and adult enteral nutritional formulae; as a skin care product or cosmetic; as a drug or pharmaceutical; as a component of an intravenous, parenterally administered fluid; and as an animal or aquaculture feed or feed additive. The high levels of Omega*3 fatty acids produced by these marine eukaryotes grown heterotrophically are unique. Prokaryotic microorganisms generally do not produce these fatty acids. Although photosynthetic, autotrophic eukaryotes do synthesize the Omega-3 fatty acids, the rates of growth of these organisms and their production of the fatty acids under photosynthetic growth conditions are significantly less than when heterotrophic eukaryotes are cultivated heterotrophically. Specific heterotrophs appropriate for use in this invention include, but are not limited to: the thraustochytrids, Thraustochytrium roseum and T. aureum; the phycomycetes fungi, Pythium sp. and Schizochytrium aggregatum; the diatom, Nitzschia sp.; and the dinoflagellate, Crypthecodinium cohni. These species are maintained in the American Type Culture Collection and the algae culture collection of the University of Texas at Austin. The Omega3 fatty acids appear to be produced only by marine microorganisms or by halophilic or halotolerant species. Thus, in the preferred embodiment, either seawater, an artificial seawater, or other saline solution is used as the solvent in the culture medium. The complete medium is referred to as a saline culture medium. The carbon source in this saline culture medium may be a relatively simple carbohydrate source, for example, glucose, sucrose, mannose, or molasses, or, if slower cultivation is permitted, vegetable fibers such as grasses or bagasse. After inoculation of the saline culture medium with the selected eukaryotic microorganisms, the medium is incubated under conditions favorable for heterotrophic growth of the microorganism. Extractions of the culture are accomplished by solvent extraction using a mixed organic solvent and standard techniques. This invention will be more clearly understood by references to the following illustrative examples, which are not to be construed as limiting the invention EXAMPLE 1 Pure cultures of the thraustochytrids, yeasts, fungi, or microalgae are inoculated into liquid media of successively larger volumes starting at 100 ml and staging up to larger cultures. A saline culture medium is prepared by mixing 1.0 g of glucose with 0.1 g yeast extract in 1000 ml of aged seawater. The amount of glucose can be increased to 5 g and the pfl in the preferred embodiment is adjusted to between 7 and 7.5. The cultures are grown for two weeks at approximately 25 to 28" C. to facilitate heterotrophic growth. Growth vessels are either shaken with rotary shakers or magnetically stirred. The species may be grown either unilluminated or illuminated with moderate light, even though the organisms are growing heterotrophically. Barvesting is carried out by centrifugation or freeze drying. These microorgansims may be extracted in the wet state directly after harvesting or in the freeze dried state, using a mixture of non-polar and polar organic solvents consisting of methanol, chloroform, and water in the proportions 2:1:0.8. The solvents are mixed with the microorganisms and allowed to stand for 1/2 to 3 hours. After this period, additional chloroform and water are added to yield a solvent ratio of 2:21.8 of methanol, chloroformr and water. The chloroform layer contains the total lipid fraction, which is comprised of a sufficiently high concentration of Omega*3 fatty acids to be useful in nutrition and medicine. Example 2 The procedures followed in Example 1 are used, except that the saline culture medium is composed of 1 to 5 g glucose, 1 g yeast extract, and 1 g peptone in 1 liter of seawater. The pH is adjusted to between 7 and 7.5. Example 3 The procedures followed in Example 1 are utilized, except that an artificial seawater base is prepared for this saline culture medium. This consists of 2.5 g NaCl, 0.5 g MgSO4. 7H20, 0.1 g KCl, 0.01 g KH2PO4, 0.02 g CaCO3 and sufficient H2S04 to dissolve the above compounds. To this solution, (NH4)2 S04 is added in the amount of 0.02 g, along with 0.2 with 0.2 g NaHbglutamate, 0.1 g Agar, 1.0 ug Thiamine-HC1, 0.1 ug Cyanocobalamin, 5.0 mg Na2EDTA, and the trace metals 0.05 mg FeSO4.7H20, 0.02 mg ZnSO4.7H20, 0.01 mg MnSO4.H20, 2.0 ug CoSO4.7H20, 0.2 ug CuSO4.5H20, 2.0 ug H3B03, 2.O ug NaMoO4.H20 with sufficient distilled water to yield 100 ml of solution. To this is added 0.1 to 0.5 g glucose or other sugar, 0.01 g NaHCO3, and the pH is adjusted to between 7 and 7.5. Example 4 The media and procedures employed in any of the above examples are used except that the cultures are exposed to light of moderate intensity. Heterotrophic growth of certain marine eukaryotes, such as the thraustochytrids, is enhanced under such conditions. Example 5 The media and procedures employed in any of the above examples are used except that additional limited quantities of available N and P (such as 0.085 g NaNO3 and 0.012 g NaH2PO4) are added to the saline culture medium. Heterotrophic growth of certain marine eukaryotes, such as the microalgae, is enhanced in this medium. The samples harvested from these examples produce lipid fractions-containing Omegas3 fatty acids. After extraction and esterification to form the methyl esters, gas chromatographic analyses show that the Omega+3 fatty acids may constitute as much as 10 to 508 of the total fatty acid fraction. They are generally contained in phospholipids, glycolipids, mono*, di-, or triglycerides, and sulfolipids, or as the free-acids, but are not limited to these forms.
