PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AND RECOVERING MANNOSYLERYTHRITOL LIPIDS FROM CULTURE MEDIUM CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention discloses a process for producing by fermentation mannosylerythritol lipids and recovering mannosylerythritol lipids in high yields and high purity. The recovery process comprises a heating step and treatment with alcohol-like solvent. High fermentation yield is obtainable by applying a strain of Pseudozyma aphidis.
