A new cultivation method for microbial oil production: cell pelletization and lipid accumulation by Mucor circinelloides
The recent energy crisis has triggered significant attention on the microbial synthesis of lipids, which comprise the raw material for biodiesel production. Microbial oil accumulation with filamentous fungi has great potential because filamentous fungi can form pellets during cell growth, and these pellets are much easier to harvest from cell broth. This paper focuses on the cell pelletization ...
متن کاملAntioxidants Potential of the Filamentous Fungi (Mucor circinelloides)
Three important strains of Mucorcircinelloides grown in complete and minimal media for specified period (72 h, 120 h and 168 h) under submerged fermentation conditions were investigated for their potential antioxidants/secondary metabolite production. All mycelial extracts demonstrated effective antioxidant activities in terms of β-carotene/linoleic acid bleaching, radical scavenging, reduction...
متن کاملSporangiospore Size Dimorphism Is Linked to Virulence of Mucor circinelloides
Mucor circinelloides is a zygomycete fungus and an emerging opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients, especially transplant recipients and in some cases otherwise healthy individuals. We have discovered a novel example of size dimorphism linked to virulence. M. circinelloides is a heterothallic fungus: (+) sex allele encodes SexP and (-) sex allele SexM, both of which are HMG domain...
متن کاملStress Responses of Genetically Modified Mucor Circinelloides Strains
The stress-related responses of Mucor circinelloides transformants altered in carotenoid production have been investigated. In zygomycetous fungi β-carotene is the predominant carotenoid, however, in transformants containing the crtW and crtZ astaxanthin biosynthesis genes from Agrobacterium aurantiacum new carotenoid compounds are present. Mucor strains with altered carotenoid content were tre...
متن کاملDNA barcoding of clinically relevant Cunninghamella species.
Mucormycosis caused, in part, by representatives of the genus Cunninghamella is a severe infection with high mortality in patients with impaired immunity. Several species have been described in the literature as etiologic agents. A DNA barcoding study using ITS rDNA and tef-1α provided concordance of molecular data with conventional characters. The currently accepted Cunninghamella species were...
