Method for production of euglena containing wax ester at high content, and method for production of wax ester

摘要

Provided is a method for producing a euglena highly containing a wax ester, comprising aerobically culturing a microalga euglena by photosynthesis using carbon dioxide as a carbon source, then further culturing the microalga euglena under nitrogen-starvation conditions to increase paramylon accumulation per cell, and subsequently putting the microalga euglena under anaerobic conditions, so that a euglena highly containing a wax ester can be produced; and a method for producing a wax ester.;The present invention relates to a method for producing a euglena highly containing a wax ester. The method comprises a first step of aerobically culturing a microalga euglena, a second step of further culturing a medium under nitrogen-starvation conditions, and a third step of retaining the cells under anaerobic conditions.

1. A method for producing an euglena highly containing a wax ester comprising;
a first step of aerobically culturing a microalga euglena under autotrophic conditions; a second step of culturing the euglena in medium under nitrogen-starvation conditions and under autotrophic conditions to accumulate carbohydrate; and a third step of retaining the euglena under anaerobic conditions, to transform into a wax ester only carbohydrate stored in the euglena.
