Abstract

The composition of carotenoids produced by R. glutinis was observed to be dependent upon the addition of phenol into medium. A stimulatory effect of phenol on β-carotene of Rhodotorula glutins K-501 grown on glucose was investigated. Carotenoids produced by Rhodotorula glutinis K-501 were identified to torularhodin, torulene and β-carotene, whose composition was 79.5%, 6.4% and 14.1%, respectively. The β-carotene content increased up to 35% when phenol was added to culture media at 500 ppm. The ratio of torularhodin decreased with increasing phenol concentration, while torulene content was almost constant.
