Phaffia rhodozyma (also known as Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous) is one of the most
promising natural sources of commercial astaxanthin. It has high growth rates, easy cultivation
conditions and able to utilize different carbon substrates. This provides an opportunity to further
lower production cost by using industrial waste such as molasses. This research therefore
evaluates the growth dynamic and astaxanthin production of P. rhodozyma Y1654 growing on
soy and sugar beet molasses-based media. Liquid growth media based on soy molasses (SM),
sugar beet molasses (SBM) and glucose (control) as main sugar source with peptone and yeast
extract supplementation were inoculated with 48 h old seed culture (grown in standard glucose
media: 2.0% glucose, 1.0% peptone, 0.2% yeast extract) and incubated at 20 °C with stirring
speed of 180 rpm for 7 days. Samples were taken daily throughout the study period to assess; cell
count, dry cell weight (DCW) and amount of astaxanthin. Soy molasses-based media resulted in
the highest biomass yield (7.7 g L
-1
) followed by SBM (5.8 g L
-1
). Generally, more than 90% of
initial fermentable sugar was consumed at the end of the study. However, about 40% of total
sugar in SM was unassimilable by P. rhodozyma Y1654. The highest astaxanthin yield was
observed in the control media (77 µg g
-1 of DCW). Cultivation of P. rhodozyma Y1654 in SBM
resulted in as much as twice (32.8 µg g
-1 of DCW) the astaxanthin yield of SM (12.4 µg g
-1
DCW). Molasses-based media are good for growth of P. rhodozyma Y1654 but for astaxanthin
production, they need further optimization.
