Abstract

The effects of sodium lactate on cell growth and astaxanthin accumulation of Phaffia rhodozyma were investigated in flasks.Studies were taken on the effect of different concentration of sodium lactate,the initial concen-tration of glucose and the add-in time of sodium lactate.As a result,2 g/L of sodium lactate observably enhanced astaxanthin accumulation of Phaffia rhodozyma with 18 g/L of glucose.The content of astaxanthin reached as more as 0.647 mg/g,which increased by 46.2% compared with control.
