Fractionation process for the protective isolation of ergosterol and trehalose from microbial biomass
Abstract
A new process is described for the two phase extraction of ergosterol and trehalose from microbial biomass. Baker’s yeast was used as a model organism to develop the method, which was then applied for extracting 13 oleaginous microbes. Major findings of the study were that the ergosterol content was not dependent on intracellular oil content and that 1-butanol and alkaline pH were needed to protect ergosterol. Saponification for 3–4 h at 85–100...
