Abstract

The heterotrophic marine algae Thraustochytrium aureum ATCC 34304 produces substantial amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In this study, changes in the lipid and fatty acid compositions of Thraustochytrium aureum ATCC 34304 were investigated according to the growth stage. The major lipids of Thraustochytrium aureum ATCC 34304 were found to be composed of triacylglyceride (TAG), phospholipid (PL), and sterol (ST). The content of triacylglyceride increased during the exponential phase of cell growth, but the content of phospholipid decreased. The composition of total polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased from 60.3% to 45.3% and that of docosahexaenoic acid from 42.1% to 33.9% in the triacylglyceride. The composition of total saturated fatty acids, however, increased from 24.9% to 27.8%. The content of total polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased greatly from 48.0% to 17.5% but the decrease in the content of saturated fatty acids was slight in phospholipid.

본 연구에서는 배양시간에 따른 Thraustochytrium aureum ATCC 34304 균체 내부에 저장하는 지질의 지방산조성 및 균체 막에 축척하는 지질 내의 지방산조성의 변화 과정을 정량적으로 규명하였다. 건조균체량은 배양 5일째에 3.94 g/L를 나타내었으며, 균체당의 지질 함량은 배양 3일째에 최대값 25.0%를 나타내었다. 균체 내의 triacylglyceride (TAG)량은 배양 3일까지는 증가하였으나 그 이후에는 거의 일정한 값을 유지하였다. 반면 세포막을 구성하는 phospholipid (PL)의 함량은 3일까지는 감소하나 그 이후에는 일정한 값을 나타내었다. TAG를 구성하고 있는 다중불포화지방산의 함량은 배양 초기 60.3%이였으나 배양 5일 후에는 45.3%까지 감소하였으며, DHA는 42.1%에서 33.9% 까지 감소하였다. 포화지방산의 함량은 배양 초기에는 24.9%이었으나 배양 5일 후에는 27.8%까지 증가하였다. PL 내의 불포화지방산의 함량은 배양시간에 따라 48.0%에서 17.5%까지 크게 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 포화지방산의 함량은 오차범위 내에서의 감소 경향을 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면 배양시간이 경과하여 배양액내의 영양 환경이 열악하게 되는 경우 균주는 포화지방산보다 불포화지방산을 에너지원으로 우선 사용한다고 해석할 수 있다.
