Abstract

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is a kind of n3-polyunsaturated fatty acid with important physiological functions.It has broad commercial prospects in health food,medicine,feed and other industries.However,the deep-sea fish oil as the traditional source of EPA cannot meet the increasing market demand.In this paper,Schizochytrium was taken as the original strain,and a two-stage temperature and low-dissolved-oxygen(TST-LDO) strategy is proposed.The effect of fermentation temperature was optimized by single factor experiment at the shaking flask level,and the effects of two-stage temperature change time and dissolved oxygen on the fermentation performance of EPA production in Schizochytrium were studied in a 5L fermenter.The change of fatty acid components in the process of fermentation was studied.The results show that the highest EPA content (8.35%) is obtained at two-stage-temperature strategy (28℃(0~24h)→34℃(24~120h)).The optimal temperature change time is 24h,which is determined in a 5 L fermenter.The results of different dissolved oxygen studies show that the medium and high dissolved oxygen (10%DO and 25%DO) are more conducive to the growth and lipid accumulation of Schizochytrium,but the low dissolved oxygen (2%DO) is more conducive to the accumulation of EPA,and the content of EPA is 2.05 times and 4.98 times of the medium and high dissolved oxygen level,respectively.When fermentation reached 96 h under TST-LDO strategy,the biomass,lipid yield,EPA content in total fatty acid and EPA yield reached 56.60g/L,9.62g/L,12.50% and 1.14g/L,respectively.Compared with the pretreatment,EPA content and EPA yield increased by 14.5 times and 6.1 times,respectively.
