Docosahexaenic acid production by Schizochytrium sp.using molasses as
carbon source was studied: Molasses from different sugar refineries were
prepared as carbon source. Molasses sources and molasses proportion in the
medium were investigated to evaluate the effect on the resultant dry cell
weight, total lipid content and DHA yield. The results indicated that the
colloid and excessive metal ions in the cane molasses had the noticeable
negative effects on the Schizochytrium sp.growth, the result was depressing even if the proportion of molasses significantly
reduced.The application of the cane molasses as a substitute carbon source in
the actual production was limited.On this basis the prospect of refined sugar
molasses was evaluated.The result was very close between glucose and refined
sugar molasses when the refined sugar molasses proportion in the medium is
below 80%, refined sugar molasses may partly substitute for glucose as carbon
source of Schizochytrium sp.
