  • the present invention is directed to a method of enhanced production of lipids by limitation of at least two limiting nutrient sources during the fermentation of the lipids producing cells.
  • Certain eukaryotic microbes such as algae; fungi, including yeast; and protists have been demonstrated to be good producers of polyunsaturated fatty acids in fermenters.

  • limiting nutrient source refers to a source of a nutrient (including the nutrient itself) essential for the growth and cell division of a microorganism in that, when the limiting nutrient is depleted from the growth medium, its absence substantially limits the microorganism from growing or replicating further. However, since the other nutrients (and carbon source) are still in abundance, the organism can continue to make and accumulate intracellular and/or extracellular products, in particular lipids.
  • Such limiting nutrient sources include nitrogen sources, phosphate sources, vitamin sources (such as vitamin B2 sources, pantothenate sources, thiamine sources), trace metal sources (such as zinc sources, copper sources, cobalt sources, nickel sources, iron sources, manganese sources, molybdenum sources), and major metal sources (such as magnesium sources, calcium sources, sodium sources, potassium sources), silica sources and mixtures thereof.

  • a preferred subject matter of the current invention is a method of producing lipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids from microorganisms, preferably eukaryotic microorganisms, capable of producing at least about 10 wt.-% of their biomass as lipids, which comprises a biomass density increasing phase and a lipid production phase, comprising
  • microorganisms could take up more of those limiting nutrient sources as are available in the medium, i.e. the supply of the limiting nutrient sources is lower than the amount of limiting nutrient sources which the microorganisms could consume. Deprivation of the first of these at least two limiting nutrient sources normally will initiate the lipid production phase, in case that initiation of the lipid production phase has not been initiated by other means before.
  • the nitrogen source may be organic, inorganic or a mixture thereof.
  • Preferred nitrogen sources according to the invention are ammonia, urea, nitrate, nitrite, amino acids, in particular glutamate, inorganic ammonium salts, more preferably ammonium sulfate or ammonium hydroxide, and most preferably ammonium hydroxide, and mixtures thereof.

  • Limitation of the first of these at least two limiting nutrient sources preferably initiates the lipid production phase.
  • the initiation of the lipid production phase in a preferred embodiment of the invention is defined as the moment, where in the course of the fermentation the concentration of the first of those at least two limiting nutrient sources in the medium falls below 0.01 mol/l.
  • initiation of the lipid production phase corresponds to the moment, where further growth of the microorganisms essentially stops and the microorganisms start to strongly accumulate lipids in the cells instead.
  • the lipid production phase need not necessarily be initiated by reducing the concentration of a limiting nutrient source. Alternatively it can be initiated, for example, also by limitation of the amount of dissolved oxygen in the fermentation medium.
  • the amounts of both of said two limiting nutrient sources fall to concentrations in the course of the fermentation, so that the lipids producing microorganisms in the medium are in deprivation of both of said limiting nutrient sources for at least 30 % of the time of the lipid production phase, preferably for at least 40, 50 or 60 % of the time of the lipid production phase, above all for at least 70, 80 or 90 % of the time of the lipid production phase.
  • the microorganisms in the medium are preferably in deprivation of both of said limiting nutrient sources at least for the last 30 % of the time of the lipid production phase, preferably at least for the last 40, 50 or 60 % of the time of the lipid production phase, more preferably at least for the last 70, 80 or 90 % of the time of the lipid production phase.

  • no further amounts of the at least two limiting nutrient sources, in particular of nitrogen source(s) and phosphate source(s) are added, at all. - Nevertheless, as depletion of those limiting nutrient sources not necessarily takes place at the same time, also in this embodiment of the invention it is possible and likely that the concentrations of both of the at least two limiting nutrient sources fall below 0.01 mol/l at different points in time. But due to the fact that supply of said limiting nutrient sources is stopped in the lipid production phase, the concentrations of said limiting nutrient sources preferably fall to zero in the course of the fermentation in this embodiment of the invention.
  • the supply of one of the at least two limiting nutrient sources is stopped, before the supply of the second of the at least two limiting nutrient sources is stopped.
  • the supply of the second limiting nutrient source might be stopped up to 30 hours later, in particular up to 20 or up to 10 hours later than the supply of the first limiting nutrient source.
  • supply of the limiting nutrient sources is still continued in the lipid production phase, even after reduction of their concentrations, more or less during the complete lipid production phase.
  • the limiting nutrient sources are added in such small amounts that the cells will not switch back to the growth phase. This is preferably done by feeding said limiting nutrient sources in such amounts that the cells are still in deprivation of these limiting nutrient sources, preferably herein the limiting nutrient sources do not exceed a concentration of 0.01 mol/L, in particular a concentration of 0.005 mol/l, above all a concentration of 0.003 mol/l, in the lipid production phase.
  • the benefit of this embodiment is that by still feeding those components in small amounts in the lipid production phase may help to avoid metabolic stress on the cells and by that may avoid accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside the cells and by that hinder a possible increase of the oxidative degradation of the lipids as contained in the cells.

  • "Supply" of the limiting nutrient sources and of the carbon source comprises active as well as passive supply. This means for example, that if the limiting nutrient source(s) and/or the carbon source are present in a sufficient amount in the batch medium at the beginning of the fermentation, they not necessarily have to be supplied actively in the course of the fermentation.
  • the supply is stopped means that the respective compound(s) is not available in the medium, anymore.

It is evident that in case that a multivalent nitrogen or phosphate source is used as alternative or in addition to a monovalent nitrogen or phosphate source, then only a corresponding fraction of the mentioned molar concentration has to be applied. For example, in case of a bivalent source only half of the molar concentration has to be applied etc. Further it is also evident that in case that complex media containing such nitrogen or phosphate sources are used as alternative or in addition to a monovalent nitrogen or phosphate source, that then the amount of nitrogen or phosphate source as contained in the complex media is relevant for the calculation.

  • Determination of the amount of ammonia/ammonium is preferably carried out in a sample of the reaction medium by UV spectroscopy as follows: Ammonia/ammonium is reacted in presence of a glutamate dehydrogenase, 2-oxoglutarate and NADH to L-glutamate, NAD+ and water. As the amount of oxidized NADH is stoichiometric to the amount of ammonia/ammonium as present in the sample, by comparing the amount of NADH before and after the reaction, the amount of ammonia/ammonium can be determined. The amount of NADH can be determined by means of light absorbance at 334, 340 or 365 nm. A suitable commercially available kit for determining the amount of ammonia/ammonium is the r-Biopharm Ammonium test kit (Roche Diagnostics, Switzerland).
  • Determination of the amount of phosphate is preferably carried out in a sample of the reaction medium by colorimetry as follows: Phosphate is reacted with ammonium molybdate to form ammonium phosphomolybdate. The ammonium phosphomolybdate is then further reduced by a reducing agent to produce a stable, reduced, mixed-valance heteropolymolybdate complex P04[Mo(V)03)4(Mo(VI)03)8] 7" . The rate of change of absorbance of the resulting blue heteropolymolybdate complex is proportional to the phosphate concentration as originally contained in the sample.

After about 60 hours of fermentation it was decided to initiate the transition into the oil production phase by stopping the titration of ammonia water, leading to complete exhaustion of the ammonia from the broth, and instead switching to titration with NaOH, while KH2PO4 titration was maintained. Particularly, the phosphate was kept during the oil production phase at a concentration of about 0.5 g/l in one run and at a concentration of about 1.5 g/l in another run. The dissolved oxygen (DO) level was maintained at 20% saturation or higher in the broth during the whole fermentation. The DO was controlled by stirrer speed.

  • the fermentation process was stopped by heating the broth to 60°C for 20 minutes, which stopped the metabolism of the cells. Subsequently, the total amount of oil as produced by the cells was determined. - It turned out that stopping the nitrogen supply, while simultaneously maintaining the phosphate supply at concentrations of about 500 mg/l or about 1500 mg/l lead to a final total fat content in the cells of 47 and 43 %, respectively.
