  • Enhanced production of lipids by limitation of at least two limiting nutrient sources
    Patent number: 11814665
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 18, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2023
    Assignees: Evonik Operations GmbH, DSM IP Assets B.V.
    Inventors: Adam Burja, James Corona, Jose R. Garcia, Goncalo Oliveira Maia, Horst Priefert, Joachim Windau, Gabriel Závodský
  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BIOMASS WHICH CAN BE EASILY BROKEN DOWN AND WHICH HAS AN INCREASED CONTENT OF POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
    Publication number: 20220017930
    Abstract: According to the invention, it has been found that when the amount of sulfate used in the culturing of PUFAs-producing cells is selected such that the sulfate concentration drops to zero in the last phase of the growth phase of the cells, an easily disruptable biomass is obtained which has an increased proportion by mass of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the final product.

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BIOMASS WITH AN INCREASED CONTENT OF POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
    Publication number: 20220017929
    Abstract: According to the invention, it has been found that when the amount of sulfate used in the culturing of PUFAs-producing cells is selected such that the sulfate concentration in the last phase of fermentation is always above zero, but at the same time always below the saturation limit of the cells, a biomass is obtained which has an increased proportion by mass of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the final product, the process having at the same time a high product/substrate yield and space/time yield.

  • ENHANCED PRODUCTION OF LIPIDS BY LIMITATION OF AT LEAST TWO LIMITING NUTRIENT SOURCES
    Publication number: 20210171991
    Abstract: 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.

  • METHOD FOR EXTRACTING A MICROBIAL OIL COMPRISING POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS FROM A FERMENTATION BROTH CONTAINING OLEAGINOUS MICROORGANISMS
    Publication number: 20190249108
    Abstract: The processes for obtaining a microbial oil comprising one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from one or more microbial cells comprise removing water from the cell fermentation broth or lysed cell composition before demulsification is conducted. Such a process has the benefits of reduced demulsification time and reduced salt use. Microbial oil comprising one or more PUFAs can be recovered from microbial cells by the process.
