Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microbial fermentation, and specifically discloses a method for co-producing squalene and n-3 fatty acids by single cells. Background Art
[0002] Squalene (C30H50) is an open-chain triterpenoid compound with six all-trans double bonds. Its chemical name is 2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyl-2,6,10,14,18,22-triacontanehexaenoic acid. The pure product is a colorless or light yellow oily liquid and is insoluble in water. In 1906, squalene was first discovered in the extract of shark liver and got its name accordingly, also known as "fish liver terpene". Deep-sea fish are one of the main traditional sources of squalene, such as salmon, sardines, sharks, etc. Among them, the content of squalene in deep-sea sharks, an important traditional source, can reach about 15-60%. In addition to shark liver, squalene also exists in various plants such as olives, amaranth, camellia oleifera, and rice. Among them, the content of squalene in olive oil can reach 1.16%, and the content is generally low. In addition, squalene widely exists in higher mammals, especially in human sebum, with a content of up to 12%. Research shows that squalene has a positive effect on oxidative stress caused by ultraviolet rays and also has various physiological functions such as anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. It is mainly used in the fields of medicine, nutrition, beauty, etc. However, due to the problems of declining quality and reduced production of squalene from shark liver, and at the same time, its acquisition process also involves many drawbacks such as environmental pollution, ecological balance destruction, and marine resource limitations, it is of great practical significance to find sustainable alternative resources.
[0003] n-3 fatty acids are a class of long-chain fatty acids containing multiple double bonds, usually referring to fatty acids with a carbon chain length of more than 18 carbon atoms, at least containing 3 double bonds and the first double bond at the methyl end located at the third carbon atom. Eicosatrienoic acid, arachidonic acid (C20:4N-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (n-3DPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) all belong to n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and have important physiological functions in the human body, such as preventing atherosclerotic heart disease, anti-cancer, protecting eyes, anti-allergy, anti-thrombosis, etc. However, the human body does not have the ability to synthesize n-3 fatty acids de novo, so it is necessary to ingest fatty acids from the outside to supplement the required amount. Deep-sea fish oil is currently the main source for humans to obtain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is particularly urgent to develop sustainable alternative resources to meet the growing market demand.
[0004] Microalgae are primary producers in nature and the initial source of bioactive substances such as EPA and DHA, with great development potential. Among them, Schizochytrium sp is a heterotrophic single-celled microorganism that aggregates in nutrient-rich seawater and mangrove sediments. It contains rich active substances such as proteins, fatty acids, amino acids, sterols, squalene, and carotenoids. Its fermentation cycle is short and the process requirements are simple, and it is mostly used for commercial production of DHA, with a maximum yield of up to 200 g / L. Given the advantages of Schizochytrium sp in the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids, it is considered a potential sustainable resource for co-producing squalene and n-3 fatty acids, with broad application prospects. et al. used Aurantiochytrium sp. 18W-13a to ferment and produce squalene, and the final yield reached 1.29 g / L. Schütte et al. adjusted the dissolved oxygen and feeding strategies to improve the squalene content in Schizochytrium sp. S31. The results showed that the squalene content increased to 39.67 mg / g under the fermentation process of oxygen limitation and fed-batch, which was much higher than the control group. It can be seen that using microalgae to ferment and produce squalene and co-producing n-3 fatty acids has broad market prospects. Summary of the Invention

When a single exogenous factor was added dropwise, it was found that the addition of choline phosphate could significantly increase the oil content, and the addition of the amino acid mixture could significantly increase the squalene content. Subsequently, by adding different exogenous substances and mixtures dropwise in stages, the yields of oil, squalene, EPA, n-3 DPA, and DHA in the bacterial cells were finally increased significantly at the same time.
