Standardization of Medium components and Process parameters for Biopigment Production using Rhodotorula glutinis
Abstract:
In the present investigation, studies were carried out to evaluate the effect of medium consitituents and process paramters to get maximum biopigment production using Rhodotorula glutinis MTCC 1151. Screening of different media components indicated that a medium containing glucose (6%, w/v), urea (0.05%) and magnesium sulphate (0.05%) displayed higher pigment production than others. The optimization of different process parameters indicated that maximum pigment production was observed at pH 6.0, temperature 30°C, after 72 hrs incubation period under submerged fermentation.
