Abstract
Heterotrophic or mixotrophic culture of microalgae is feasible alternative approach to avoid light limitation in autotrophic culture. However, only a few kinds of organic carbon sources are available for algal culture. Disaccharides, such as sucrose, are difficult to be utilized by microalgae under both heterotrophic and mixotrophic conditions. In this study, a symbiotic yeast was accidentally found in a contaminated algal suspension. The symbiotic yeast was isolated and identified as Cryptococcus sp. This yeast was able to extracellularly hydrolyze sucrose and accumulated monosaccharides in the medium. It can enhance algal growth using sucrose as the carbon source at both heterotrophic and mixotrophic modes when mix-cultured with Chlorella pyrenoidosa. The highest algal cell density of 118.8 × 106 and 151.2 × 106 cells/mL was achieved with a final algal percentage of 83.5 and 93.2% at heterotrophic and mixotrophic culture, respectively. Furthermore, the protein and lipid content was significantly enhanced by mix-culture C. pyrenoidosa with Cryptococcus YZU-1. The fatty acid accumulated in this co-culture system was suitable for the production of biodiesel. This symbiotic yeast solved the problem that C. pyrenoidosa cannot hete...Continue Reading
