Fig. 3From: Production of tailor-made enzymes to facilitate lipid extraction from the oleaginous yeast Schwanniomyces occidentalisPretreatment screening analysis. The pretreatment screening analysis exposed the Schwanniomyces occidentalis fat cells to chemicals, microwave or autoclaving pretreatment for 24 h prior to addition of the tailor-made enzymes (TMEs). The release of oil was visualized after 24 h of TME incubation time by the addition of Nile red. Sample (1) 1 M NaCl, (2) 1 M NaOH, (3) 1 M NH4OH, (4) 1 M HCl, (5) 1 M H3PO4, (6) 1 M CH3COOH, (7) microwave procedure (700 W, 10 min), (8) 1% (v/v) Triton X-100, (9) 1% (v/v) Tween-80, (10) 50 mM DTT, (11) autoclave procedure (121 °C/20 min), (12) control sample with demi water as a pretreatment step and demi water as a lysis procedure, (13) control sample with demi water as a pretreatment step and lytic enzymes as a lysis procedure, (14) control sample with 1 M NaOH as pretreatment step and demi water as a lysis procedure, (15) control sample with HCl as a pretreatment step and demi water as a lysis procedure, (16) control sample by autoclave procedure (121 °C/20 min) and demi water as a lysis procedureBack to article page
