U. Rau et al., INFLUENCE OF SUBSTRATE SUPPLY ON THE PRODUCTION OF SOPHOROSE LIPIDS BY CANIDIDA-BOMBICOLA ATCC-22214, Biotechnology letters, 18(2), 1996, pp. 149-154
Candida (Torulopsis) bombicola ATCC 22214 produces 180 g/l sophorose l
ipids using glucose and oleic acid (technical grade) as combined subst
rates in an extended fed-batch cultivation. Excess of oleic acid gener
ated a paste-like product. However, only when oleic acid was not detec
table during the whole run of cultivation, a microcrystalline product
precipitated. The unsaturated C-18 fatty acids of the technical grade
oleic acid were transferred unchanged into the sophorose lipid.
