The invention provides a method for improving heterotrophic microbial
fermentation via multiple chemical promoters to produce docosahexenoic acid (DHA). The method comprises the following steps: with a heterotrophic culture medium of
crypthecodinium cohnii as a foundation, adding any chemical
promoter into the heterotrophic culture medium; the heterotrophic culture medium is composed of 9g / L of glucose, 2g / L of
yeast extract
powder and 25g / L of
sea salt; the chemical
promoter can also be called a
plant growth regulator, including indoleacetic acid (IAA), naphthoxyessigsaeure (BNOA), chlorobenzoic acid,
salicylic acid (SA),
abscisic acid (ABA) and cholamine, and the concentrations of these chemical promoters in the heterotrophic culture medium are as follows: 2.5mg / L of indoleacetic acid (IAA), 4mg / L of naphthoxyessigsaeure (BNOA), 4mg / L of chlorobenzoic acid, 1mg / L of
salicylic acid (SA), 20mg / L of
abscisic acid (ABA) and 2.5mM cholamine; culturing at 25 DEG C for 72 hours, extracting
grease, and measuring the DHA content of the culture by using a gas chromatograph-
mass spectrometer, meanwhile, extracting cellular
metabolite from a parallel culture, and detecting and analyzing the content change condition of the cellular
metabolite by using a metabonomics method.
