In this work, a continuous and nonsterile process was developed for bioconversion of waste streams into lipids for biodiesel using growth-inhibitor-tolerant oleaginous yeast. RESULTS: An inhibitor-tolerating property of the strain was used to develop a cyclic and continuous near axenic cultivation process in a 2 L nonsterile bioreactor to enhance valorization of waste streams and to reduce energy requirements for media and vessel sterilization. After media optimization, continuous cultivation resulted in significant increase in biomass (14.90 g L−1day−1) and lipid productivity (6.15 g L−1day−1) as compared to flask (biomass ∼3 g L−1day−1and lipid productivity ∼0.6 g L−1day−1) results. Palmitic acid (C16:0) and oleic acid (C18:1) were the major fatty acids, accounting for almost 80% of total lipids, thus making lipid produced in the process suitable for biodiesel production. CONCLUSION: Inhibitors present in waste streams successfully maintained near axenic conditions during the cultivation. Maximum dilution rate of 1 was achieved after media optimization, which resulted in complete valorization of nutrients into biomass and lipids with high productivity. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
