The invention provides a
microorganism fermentation method for
arachidonic acid. The
microorganism fermentation method comprises the following steps of: inoculating ordinary
mortierella strains which is used for producing the
arachidonic acid on a PDA (
Potato Dextrose Agar) slope; stewing a
solid culture medium at a temperature of 80-100 DEG C for 20-30 minutes, and airing to dry and scatter the
solid culture medium without clusters, wherein the
solid culture medium includes liquid components and solid components, the solid components are selected from one or more of wheat
bran, rice and millet, and are mixed with the liquid components at a ratio of 10:7; adding 15-25mL
sterile water to a fresh
arachidonic acid-producing ordinary
mortierella strain slope to wash spores so as to prepare
spore suspension, uniformly inoculating the
spore suspension into the solid culture medium, cultivating the solid culture medium at a temperature of 24-26 DEG C for 2-3 days as a
mother culture medium for primary
fermentation; and washing the spores on surfaces of solid seeds by using 200-300ml
sterile water to prepare the
spore suspension, inoculating the spore suspension into a primary fermentation tank based on an
inoculation amount of 5-10% by volume, cultivating the primary fermentation tank at a changed temperature through controlling temperatures before and after the fermentation, and adding auxiliary materials for two times during the fermentation process so as to promote the growth of
thallus and synthesis of
grease. The
microorganism fermentation method has the advantages of shortened period and lowered cost, and can be used for effectively improving fermentation level of the arachidonic acid.
