METHOD FOR PRODUCING EUGLENA HAVING HIGH WAX ESTER CONTENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing Euglena having a high wax ester content and that can more effectively produce the Euglena having the high wax ester content by restoring the fermentation efficiency of wax esters by adding a nutrient before anaerobic fermentation.SOLUTION: There is provided a method for producing Euglena having a high wax ester content. The main configuration of the method includes a first step of aerobically cultivating the microalga Euglena in nitrogen-poor conditions, and a second step of holding the cells in an anaerobic state, and before the second step, a nutrient source is added to the culture liquid that has passed through the first step.
