Abstract
The objective of this work was to evaluate a solid-state fermentation process for the practical production of arachidonic acid(AA) by Mortierella alpina ATCC 32222. In the present investigation, batch culture kinetics for both submerged- and solid-state fermentations was carried out at $25^{\circ}C$ to identify the relationship between growth and arachidonic acid (AA) production. Glucose and yeast extract were used in submerged fermentations by using flasks, while rice bran was used as a sole raw material in the other type of fermentations by using a series of Petri dishes. It was evident that a mixed-growth associated pattern existed between the two variables, irrespective of modes of fermentations. The effect of carbon to nitrogen (CfN) ratio on AA production in solid-state fermentation was studied in the range of 6.5 - 20. As a result, an optimum condition was found to be 6.5. Supplementary carbon source was not necessary to meet the optimum C/N ratio. Unlike the Previous results obtained by other researchers, a supplement of sodium glutamate up to $4\%$ (w/w) to the rice bran medium did not have a positive effect on the AA productivity. However, an increase in AA productivity was obtained with the rice bran medium supplemented with sesame oil.
