Table 4 Biomass yield and lipase activity of Y. lipolytica in YPGO and YPO-Gl30 medium-based bioreactor culture

From: Assortment of carbon sources in medium for Yarrowia lipolytica lipase production: A statistical approach

Mediuma Carbon source composition Duration of lag phase (h) Biomass yield (g d.m./L) Extracellular lipase activity (U/mL) Cell-bound lipase activity (U/g d.m.)
YPGO 20 g/L glucose 12.0 mL/L olive oil 14.25 ± 0.25 24.7 ± 1.4 0.140 ± 0.02 10.17 ± 1.93
YPO-Gl30 30 g/L glycerol 19.2 mL/L olive oil 11.25 ± 0.25 18.9 ± 0.4 0.135 ± 0.02 9.19 ± 1.11
  1. d.m., Dry cell mass
  2. The results are presented as the average ± standard deviation (SD)
  3. All culture media, irregardless of the carbon source(s), contained 10.0 g/L yeast extract and 20.0 g/L peptone and had a pH of 5.0. YPGO medium contained 20.0 g/L glucose and 12.0 mL/L olive oil; YPO-Gl30 medium contained 19.2 mL/L olive oil and 30.0 g/L glycerol
