The different cultivation strategies of batch, fed-batch and continuous culture for the synthesis of biomass and carotenoids by Dietzia natronolimnaea HS-1 from waste molasses and its hydrolysate were compared. The efficiency of three various pretreatments (enzymatic, acidic and acidic at high temperature) for the determination of the best hydrolysate was also studied by evaluating the conversion rate of sucrose. The analytical procedures initially showed that canthaxanthin (CTX) and enzymatic hydrolysis were the most abundant pigment biosynthesized and the most suitable process for the substrate production, respectively. An increase in reducing sugar concentration of the enzymatic hydrolysate molasses (EHM) from 25 to 50 g/l led to a drastic decrease in biomass formation and substrate utilization. EHM (25 g/l) was a better substrate for the cell growth and product formation than the waste molasses (25 g/l). The application of EHM instead of molasses enhanced the biomass production in fed-batch culture more than batch and continuous cultures. However, the continuous cultivation had the highest biomass (12.98 g/l), carotenoid (27.33 mg/l) and CTX (25.04 mg/l) yields with 25 g/l of EHM. The CTX isolated from D. natronolimnaea HS-1 may be used as a natural antioxidant for possible production of healthy-functional foods in the future.
