ABSTRACT



The effect of sodium acetate addition on citric acid (CA) biosynthesis in batch fermentation process from glucose by acetate non utilizing (acu-) mutant Yarrowia lipolytica A-101.1.31 was studied. Acetate as co-substrate in glucose medium, has improved the specific production rate in the first 24 hours of process, yield and productivity. Among the tested doses (1, 2, 8, 16, 20 gL-1) the addition of 2 gL-1 of sodium acetate had the most positive effect on the CA biosynthesis by Y.lipolytica A-101.1.31. In the future, a study on a continuous addition of sodium acetate could be taken into consideration because acetate was rapidly metabolized.

Key words: Yarrowia lipolytica, acetate utilisation, citrate production .
