METHOD FOR PRODUCING MANNOSYL ERYTHRITOL LIPID

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently producing mannosyl erythritol lipid (MEL). SOLUTION: Mannosyl erythritol lipid is efficiently produced by culturing a microorganism such as Pseudozyma rugulosa having ability to produce mannosyl erythritol lipid in an mannosyl erythritol lipid-producing medium containing oil and fats such as plant oil and fats as main components by adding erythritol and/or mannose in the culture medium.
