Extracellular lipase production by Yarrowia lipolytica under magnetic fields.

This study aimed at estimating cultivation conditions to enable Yarrowia lipolytica NNRL Y-1095 to produce extracellular lipase and at evaluating the influence of magnetic fields (MF) on the lipase production and on its catalytic conditions. Culture conditions of carbon sources and surfactant defined to produce extracellular lipase were 10 g L glucose, 15 g L olive oil and 2 g L Triton X-100. The highest lipase activity (34.

Enzymatic biodiesel synthesis from yeast oil using immobilized recombinant Rhizopus oryzae lipase.

The recombinant Rhizopus oryzae lipase (1-3 positional selective), immobilized on Relizyme OD403, has been applied to the production of biodiesel using single cell oil from Candida sp. LEB-M3 growing on glycerol from biodiesel process. The composition of microbial oil is quite similar in terms of saponifiable lipids than olive oil, although with a higher amount of saturated fatty acids.

Cultivation of Candida sp. LEB-M3 in glycerol: lipid accumulation and prediction of biodiesel quality parameters.

The quality of biodiesel from lipids produced by the yeast Candida sp. LEB-M3 was predicted, by the use of mathematical models for parameters that specify quality as a function of the fatty acid profile. The lipid production was studied according to the experimental design methodology, for different cultivation conditions for agitation and aeration.

Exploration of Brazilian biodiversity and selection of a new oleaginous yeast strain cultivated in raw glycerol.

The objective of this study was to use glycerol generated from the synthesis of biodiesel to study the oleaginous potential of wild yeasts. An initial selection was performed via a rapid and qualitative technique by staining with Sudan Black B. Initially 129 yeasts were present, from which 5 were selected and cultivated in liquid medium containing pure or raw glycerol.
