The effect of different doses of visible (Vis), ultraviolet-capital A, Cyrillic (UVA), and mixed light (UVA + Vis) upon coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)) and beta-carotene synthesis and biomass yield by the Sporobolomyces salmonicolor AL(1), Cryptococcus albidus AS(55), Cryptococcus laurentii AS(56), and C. laurentii AS(58) strains isolated from Antarctic samples was investigated. The beta-carotene concentration in the red strain biomass increased by 52% under irradiation with 11 J/cm(2) Vis, and the CoQ(10) concentration rose by 37% in relation to the control quantity obtained through dark cultivation. Under irradiation with 6 J/cm(2) UVA, the S. salmonicolor AL(1) strain synthesized 15% more beta-carotene; C. albidus AS(55), 22%; C. laurentii AS(56), 44%; and C. laurentii AS(58), 35% in relation to the control quantity. Irradiation with a low UVcapital A, Cyrillic + Vis dose significantly stimulated beta-carotene biosynthesis by the strains of the Cryptococcus genus (87%, 138%, and 100%), whereas S. salmonicolor AL(1) increased the beta-carotene content to a smaller degree (55%). Higher doses of all three irradiation types inhibited beta-carotene accumulation. Vis suppressed CoQ(10) biosynthesis in the Cryptococcus strains, whereas UVcapital A, Cyrillic and UVcapital A, Cyrillic + Vis inhibited it in all four strains. The S. salmonicolor AL(1) strain pre-treated with 0.02 J/cm(2) UVA synthesized twice as much CoQ(10) and beta-carotene when cultivated in the presence of Vis light in an 11-J/cm(2) dose.

Production of biomass and extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) from psychrophilic Sporobolomyces salmonicolor AL1 in a stirred bioreactor was studied. The aspects of production technical-scale parameters, namely, bioreactor flow field, biomass and EPS production rates, oxygen mass transfer per input power, as well as important product properties, such as rheology and stability of EPS mixtures, were considered. The bioprocess was found to proceed in non-Newtonian flow with consistency coefficient rising typically to 0.

The Sporobolomyces salmonicolor AL(1) Antarctic strain was cultivated and two bioproducts were obtained: exopolysaccharide and biomass. The biologically active substances ergosterol, torularhodin, torulene, β-carotene and CoQ(10) were extracted from the biomass and were quantified as follows: ergosterol 5.2 ± 0.
