Abstract

Provided are a Candida tropicalis strain Am2525, with the preservation number thereof being CCTCC NO: M 2019419, and a method for producing long-chain dicarboxylic acids by means of fermenting the strain. The method for producing the long-chain dicarboxylic acids comprises preparing a seed solution by means of the Candida tropicalis strain Am2525 and producing the long-chain dicarboxylic acids via fermentation of the seed solution. Compared with the parent, the Candida tropicalis strain Am2525 has an enhanced resistance to the toxicity of a substrate decane, improves the productivity of long-chain dicarboxylic acids, reduces the cost of production, subsequent separation and purification are simple, and the fermentation production process is easy to implement on a large scale.

Claims (24)

1. A Candida tropicalis strain Am2525 with the deposition number CCTCC NO: M 2019419.

2. A method of producing a long-chain dicarboxylic acid, comprising: preparing a seed solution comprising a Candida tropicalis strain Am2525 with the deposit number CCTCC NO: M 2019419; and fermenting the strain to produce a long-chain dicarboxylic acid.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a substrate for fermentation comprises one or more of C10 n-alkanes, C10 straight-chain saturated fatty acids, C10 straight-chain saturated fatty acid esters and C10 straight-chain saturated fatty acid salts.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the fermentation step comprises culturing at 28° C. to 31° C. for 90-200 hours, and/or shaking at a speed of 200-250 rpm.

5. The method according to claim 2 , comprising the following steps:

a) activating the strain;

b) preparing the seed solution;

c) inoculating the seed solution into a fermentation medium; and

d) fermenting to produce a long-chain dicarboxylic acid.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein in step a), a medium for activating the strain comprises Yeast Peptone Dextrose (YPD) medium, and the YPD medium comprises 2.0% w/v of glucose, 1.0% w/v of yeast extract, 2.0% w/v of peptone, and water.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein, in step b), the seed solution is prepared by inoculating the Candida tropicalis strain Am2525 into a culture medium comprising 10-20 g/L of sucrose, 2-4 g/L of corn steep liquor, 3-8 g/L of yeast extract, 4-12 g/L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.5-4 g/L of urea, and 0-80 mL/L of one or more substrates selected from the group consisting of C10 n-alkanes, C10 straight-chain saturated fatty acids, C10 straight-chain saturated fatty acid esters and C10 straight-chain saturated fatty acid salts.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein, in step c), the seed solution is inoculated into the fermentation medium in an inoculation amount of 10%-30% by volume.

9. The method according to claim 3 , comprising the following steps:

a) activating the strain;

b) preparing the seed solution;

c) inoculating the seed solution into a fermentation medium; and

d) fermenting to produce a long-chain dicarboxylic acid.

10. The method according to claim 4 , comprising the following steps:

a) activating the strain;

b) preparing the seed solution;

c) inoculating the seed solution into a fermentation medium; and

d) fermenting to produce a long-chain dicarboxylic acid.

11. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the long-chain dicarboxylic acid is a C10 straight-chain saturated dicarboxylic acid.

12. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the substrate for fermentation is added in an amount of 100-400 mL/L.
