Abstract
Arachidonic acid and its derivatives are a very promising alternative to the use of environmentally hazardous chemical plant protection products. It is widely used as a growth stimulant and anti-stress resistance for agricultural plants. In this work, the possibility of using beet pulp, a by-product of the sugar beet industry, as an accessible and environmentally friendly substrate for obtaining practically important arachidonic acid during solid-phase cultivation of the Mortierella alpina VKPM F-1280 fungus was studied. It was shown that on a glycerol-containing media with beet pulp as the main polyunsaturated acid in the composition of others, essential arachidonic acid is formed (82% of the total acids). At the same time, the lipid content in the aerial mycelium does not exceed 10% (of absolute dry substance). The addition of oat flakes (30–60 g/L) into the media with beet pulp increases the lipid content in the aerial mycelium to 18% (of absolute dry substance).
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of General Chemistry is a journal that covers many problems that are of general interest to the whole community of chemists. The journal is the successor to Russia’s first chemical journal, Zhurnal Russkogo Khimicheskogo Obshchestva (Journal of the Russian Chemical Society ) founded in 1869 to cover all aspects of chemistry. Now the journal is focused on the interdisciplinary areas of chemistry (organometallics, organometalloids, organoinorganic complexes, mechanochemistry, nanochemistry, etc.), new achievements and long-term results in the field. The journal publishes reviews, current scientific papers, letters to the editor, and discussion papers.
