The accumulation of DHA oil produced by Schizochytrium sp.was real-timely monitored by phosphoric acid vanillin method, and the fermentation process for production of DHA oil by Schizochytriumsp.was optimized. The results showed that the optimal formular of culture medium for growth and oil accumulation of Schizochytrium sp. were obtained as follows: glucose 30 g/L, corn steep powder 6 g/L, peptone 4 g/L, sodium nitrate 3.6-3.9 g/L, sea crystal 15 g/L. A certain dosage of glucose was fed to increase carbon-nitrogen ratio to improve oil accumulation and a fed batch of 3.0 g/L soybean oil could stimulate cell growth in 50 L fermentor. After fed batch fermentation for 72 h, wet weight of cell reached 200 g/L,total oil content was more than 60% and DHA content in the fatty acid composition of the oil accounted for about 22%. |
