摘要
New yeast isolates from unexplored Patagonian habitats were studied for the production of biomass and carotenoids as the first step towards the selection of hyper-producing strains and the design of a process optimization approach. Patagonian yeast isolates considered as potential biomass and carotenoid sources were studied using ammonium sulphate and urea as nitrogen sources in semi-synthetic medium (MMS), and agro-industrial byproducts (cane molasses, corn syrup, raw malt extract) as carbon sources. Maximum pigment production (300 mu g g(-1)) was achieved by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa CRUB 0195 and by novel species Cryptococcus sp. CRUB 1046. beta-carotene, torulene and torularhodin were the major carotenoids found.
