Abstract The present study has investigated the effect of oil rich medium supplementation with polysorbates Tween 20, 40 and 80, for the cultivation of red oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula glutinis. R. glutinis has been cultivated in yeast extract peptone glucose modified broth (mYPG) supplemented with 2 % of waste cooking rapeseed oil and three polysorbate types with 0.5 %, 1 %, 2%, 3 %, 4 %, 5 %, 6 %, 7 %, 8 %, 9 % and 10 % concentration each. Yeast biomass was measured by the thermogravimetric method at 105 °C each day during 7-day experiment. The oil rich medium supplementation with Tween 20, 40 and 80 at concentrations ranging from 2 % to 10 % significantly increased the biomass of R. glutinis. All three types of the studied polysorbates with 0.5 % and 1 % concentration, did not affect yeast growth and the dry biomass – results were similar to the control sample without polysorbate addition. Between the three types of polysorbates, Tween 20 was selected as the preferable for R. glutinis cultivation with an optimal concentration of 2 %. Cultivation of R. glutinis in oil rich medium with polysorbates Tween 20, 40 and 80, supplementation up to 10 % concentration did not have had an inhibitory effect on the biomass growth.

Silver and gold nanoparticles are a promising tool for medical and industrial application, therefore, their ecotoxicity should be carefully examined. The effect of silver (12 nm) and gold (4.7) nanoparticles coated with polyethylene glycol on Spirulina platensis biomass growth and biochemical composition was investigated. The spirulina cultivation medium was supplemented with nanoparticles in concentration range 0.025-0.5 µM. Given concentrations stimulated spirulina biomass growth, while content of proteins, carbohydrates and auxiliary pigments was affected insignificantly by presence of nanoparticles in cultivation medium. The pronounced effect of gold nanoparticles at concentration 0.5 µM on the lipids content was observed. TEM images demonstrate that nanoparticles penetrate inside the cell, resulting in ultrastructural changes in cells.

Copper is a natural fungicide and is the active component of various pesticides. We detected uptake of higher concentration of the copper ions and responses to this stress in combination with presence hydrogen peroxide as a source of free radicals were studied on the three red yeast strains of species Rhodotorula glutinis (two strains) and Sporobolomyces roseus (one strain). The maximum Cu sorption was observed at the cells of strain Rhodotorula glutinis CCY 20-2-33 (25,18 mg/g dry weight) and at their exopolymers which accumulated the amount 10.22 mg/g dry weight. The remaining copper was sorbed onto the fibrillar part of cell wall (3.75 mg/g dry weight). The presence peroxide (oxidative stress) in cultivation medium decreased of the toleration of yeasts to Cu2+ ions and cells were able to take up less of about 17 % (from 3mM on 2,5 mM), although total uptake was lower about 11.01-15.96 %. We found that the strains of Rhodotorula glutinis are able to uptake about 44 % more copper ions (25.18-24.32 mg/g dry weight) in compared with strain of Sporobolomyces roseus (16.92 dry weight). However, the addition of peroxide into the cultivation medium the addition of affecting trade changes by reduce of the ability to uptake Cu2+ ions. The exopolymers and fibrillar part of cell wall these yeast were used as biopolymers with high sorption ability for metals.

The use of Spirulina (Arthospira sp) as a food source has stood out for being a potential source of proteins, fatty acids, vitamins, and others. However, the cultivation medium for its production is relatively expensive. Then, an alternative culture medium is necessary for reducing costs. So, hydroponics drainage effluent, a solution rich in nutrients, represents an alternative source of substrate for microorganism cultivation. Thus, this work aimed to characterize the biomass of Arthospira sp grown in an alternative culture medium based on hydroponic effluent through a systematic review. We noted a trend to reduce biomass growth and bioactive compounds due to an excess of iron and copper in the effluent. The study concluded that it needs to supplement the residual medium with a synthetic medium for its use to obtain biomass for commercial utilization.

Yeast has long been considered to be one of the main subjects of the food industry. Yeast has the ability to absorb and assimilate zinc to creating a group of zinc – enriched yeast products, which are source of functional products with high nutritional value, ensuring food safety. In this study, we examined, selected some conditions that affected the uptake of zinc – enriched yeast biomass by Saccharomyces pastorianus CNTP 4054 with high level of zinc accumulation. This strain was from strains collection in the Center of Industrial Microbiology, in Food Industries Research Institute. Suitable fermentation conditions for zinc – enrich biomass by strain Saccharomyces pastorianus CNTP 4054 were glucose – 200g/L, yeast extract – 50g/L, ZnSO4 – 750mg/L, fermented at 30°C for 72 Hour, input value pH = 7.

The objective of this work was to optimize the bioprocess parameters, using Klebsiella oxytoca ICCF 419 to obtain an exopolysaccharide based on lactose as substrate. A kinetic study was employed and Logistic and Gompertz models were applied to describe the polysaccharide production, in relation with biomass growth and substrate consumption. The RSM methodology based on Central Composite Rotatable Design was used to evaluate and optimize the effect of lactose, corn extract, KH2PO4 and citric acid concentrations as independent variables on the polysaccharide production, biomass growth and substrate consumption as the response functions. The interaction effects and optimal parameters were obtained using Design Expert Software (version 9.0.6.2). The significance of the variables and their interactions was tested by means of ANOVA analysis with a 99% confidence level. The optimum culture conditions were determined and the model prediction was compared with experimental results. At an initial value of 23.45 for the C/N in the fermentation medium, the strain produces 17.41 g/L of crude polysaccharide and 2.53 g/L dry biomass. The EPS production was significantly influenced by lactose, corn extract and KH2PO4, while the citric acid had no influence. The biomass growth was influenced by the corn extract, KH2PO4 and citric acid.
