To avoid complex procedures in measurement of lipid content of oleaginous yeast especially for that can accumulate microbial lipid in lignocellulosic hydrolysates, fluorescent method using Nile Red as fluorescent dye was applied to measure lipid content of oleaginous yeast Trichosporon dermatis. The fluorescent method was built by fitting of lipid content identified by both conventional gravimetric method and fluorescence intensity of oleaginous yeast. Within the range of lipid content measured, the fitting curves showed linear relationship with good correlation coefficient (R2=0.95), showing this method is suitable for measuring lipid content of T. dermatis in the simulated medium. To evaluate the applicability of this method for lipid fermentation using lignocellulosic acid hydrolysates as substrate, T. dermatis was cultured in corncob acid hydrolysate and rice straw acid hydrolysate and then its lipid content measured by both fluorescent method and gravimetric method were compared. The results showed that the lipid content measured by these two methods were close, therefore, this method was promising for the application in lipid fermentation in lignocellulosic acid hydrolysates.

Abstract Background To meet the present transportation demands and solve food versus fuel issue, microbial lipid-derived biofuels are gaining attention worldwide. This study is focussed on high-throughput screening of oleaginous yeast by microwave-aided Nile red spectrofluorimetry and exploring pongamia shell hydrolysate (PSH) as a feedstock for lipid production using novel oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula pacifica INDKK. Results A new oleaginous yeast R. pacifica INDKK was identified and selected for microbial lipid production. R. pacifica INDKK produced maximum 12.8 ± 0.66 g/L of dry cell weight and 6.78 ± 0.4 g/L of lipid titre after 120 h of growth, showed high tolerance to pre-treatment-derived inhibitors such as 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF), (2 g/L), furfural (0.5 g/L) and acetic acid (0.5 g/L), and ability to assimilate C3, C5 and C6 sugars. Interestingly, R. pacifica INDKK showed higher lipid accumulation when grown in alkali-treated saccharified PSH (AS-PSH) (0.058 ± 0.006 g/L/h) as compared to acid-treated detoxified PSH (AD-PSH) (0.037 ± 0.006 g/L/h) and YNB medium (0.055 ± 0.003 g/L/h). The major fatty acid constituents are oleic, palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids with an estimated cetane number (CN) of about 56.7, indicating the good quality of fuel. Conclusion These results suggested that PSH and R. pacifica INDKK could be considered as potential feedstock for sustainable biodiesel production.

High-throughput screening methodologies to estimate lipid content in oleaginous yeasts use Nile red fluorescence in a given solvent and optimized excitation/emission wavelengths. However, Nile red fluorescence stabilization has been poorly analyzed, and high variability occurs when relative fluorescence is measured immediately or a few minutes after dye addition. The aim of this work was to analyze the fluorescence of Nile red at different incubation times using a variety of solvents and oleaginous/non-oleaginous yeast strains. We showed that fluorescence stabilization occurs between 20 and 30 min, depending on the strain and solvent. Therefore, we suggest that fluorescence measurements should be followed until stabilization, where Relative Fluorescence Units should be considered after stabilization for lipid content estimation.
