METHOD OF OBTAINING FUNGAL PROTEIN BIOMASS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C12P21/00 C12N1/14 C12R1/77 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology. Claimed is method of obtaining food fungal biomass with high protein content. Multicycle deep cultivation of Fusarium sambucinum All-Russian collection of industrial microorganisms F-1161 on liquid nutritional medium, containing sources of carbon, nitrogen, mineral salts, separation and drying of wet fungus biomass are carried out. Cultivation is performed at pH from 3.5 to 7.0 under conditions of air aeration from 0.5 to 2.0 l/l/min. Temperature mode in each cycle of fermentation is supported from the beginning of the cycle to the point of switch at the level from 26 to 30°C, and further to the end of the cycle at the level from 22 to 25°C. Point of switch is determined by accumulation of biomass to concentration from 45 to 60% from maximally achievable in fermentation apparatus, or point of switch is determined by concentration of dissolved oxygen by its reduction to the value from 20 to 40% of saturation ( calculated per atmospheric air pressure).

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to obtain the largest accumulation of biomass with high protein content with specified quantity of nucleic acids.
