In this article the high lipid accumulation potential of Candida lipolytica, Candida tropicalis and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa cells were shown in molasses medium. Four different pH values were examined (4-7) to discover the optimum lipid accumulation medium. Varied concentrations of (NH₄)₂SO₄ (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 g/L) and molasses (6%, 8%, 10%) were tested to find the optimum carbon and nitrogen amounts for the highest cellular lipid production. It is shown that the maximum lipid content could be… CONTINUE READING
