  • inorganic nitrogen sources are nitrates and ammonium salts, in particular ammonium sulphate and ammonium hydroxide.
  • organic nitrogen sources are amino acids, in particular glutamate, and urea.
  • inorganic or organic phosphorus compounds and/or known growth-stimulating substances such as, for example, yeast extract or corn steep liquor, may also be added so as to have a positive effect on the fermentation.
  • the cells are preferably fermented at a pH of 3 to 11, in particular 4 to 10, and preferably at a temperature of at least 20°C, in particular 20 to 40°C, especially preferably at least 30°C.
  • a typical fermentation process takes up to approximately 100 hours.
  • the cells may be pasteurized in order to kill the cells and to deactivate enzymes which might promote lipid degradation.
  • the pasteurization is preferably effected by heating the biomass to a temperature of 50 to 121°C, preferably 50 to 70°C, for a period of 5 to 150 minutes, in particular 20 to 100 minutes.
  • antioxidants may be added in order to protect the PUFAs present in the biomass from oxidative degradation.
  • Preferred antioxidants in this context are BHT, BHA, TBHA, ethoxyquin, beta-carotene, vitamin E, in particular tocopherol, and vitamin C.
  • the antioxidant if used, is preferably added in an amount of 0.001 to 0.1 wt.-%, preferably in an amount of 0.002 to 0.05 wt.-%, relating to the total amount of the fermentation broth after addition of the antioxidant.
  • Example 1 Preparation of the suspension for use in the demulsification tests
  • Example 5 Influence of the amount of added base equivalents on the liberation of the oil To test the significance of the amount of added base equivalents on the efficiency of the oil liberation from the biomass, the effect of addition of different amounts of caustic soda to the biomass with respect to the liberation of oil was tested. The ratio of base equivalents added to total dry matter is depicted in table 4 as well as the amount of oil as set free by the addition of the caustic soda. All experiments were carried out with one liter of

  • amount of base euqivalents and stirring speed on the liberation of the oil tests were carried out with enzymatically treated fermentation broths which were concentrated by forced circulation evaporation to a total dry matter content of either 25, 30 or 35 wt.-%. Tests were carried out in a stirring vessel BIOSTAT® B-DCU-Quad 2L (Sartorius, Germany). The volume of the concentrated suspensions as used in the tests was 1 L for each sample. In the tests the total amount of base equivalent added was varied from 5 to 7 wt.-%, while the demulsification was carried out either at 70, 80 or 90°C.

After neutralization, a 50 g sample of the homogenized suspension was taken and separation of the cell debris was carried out by centrifugation at 13500 g.
