THE EFFECT OF CULTURE CONDITIONS ON THE FATTY ACID COMPOSITION IN THE MYCELIUM OF THE CEPHALOSPORIUM SP
培养条件对头孢霉菌丝体脂肪酸组分的影响

The optimal condition of Cephalosporium sp. to culture mycelia and accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) was researched. The optimal culture condition to get mycelium productivity was: maltose 60 g/L, KNO3 3 g/L, initial pH 6.0, 100 mL medium in 500 mL flask, seeding 25% (v/v), 25 degrees C culture it for 10 days. The optimal condition to accumulation PUFA proportion to total fatty acid was: glucose 10-20 g/L, NH4Cl or (NH4)2SO4 3 g/L, initial pH 4.0, 100 mL medium in 500 mL falsk, seeding 10-20% (v/v) and lighted it when it was cultured. It was suggested that two step could be used in the producing progress. A proposal was put forward that the oileic acid transformed to linoleic acid was the key step to produce PUFA. This proposal gave a base to research the optimal culture condition and enzyme regulation.
