T. Hongpattarakere et A. Hkittikun, OPTIMIZATION OF SINGLE-CELL-PROTEIN PRODUCTION FROM CASSAVA STARCH USING SCHWANNIOMYCES-CASTELLII, World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 11(6), 1995, pp. 607-609
Schwanniomyces castellii B5285 grew faster and produced greater biomas
s and higher protein yield than either S. alluvius ATCC 26074 or S, al
luvius 81Y when these amylolytic yeasts were grown with 2% (w/v) cassa
va starch as sole C source, With 0.5% (w/v) glutamate as N source, S,
castellii reached 7.12 g cell dry mass/l, with a protein yield of 6.4
g/100 g starch, The optimal agitation speed, aeration rate and pH for
growth of this yeast in a fermenter were 400 rev/min, 1.67 vol./vol.mi
n, and 5.0, respectively, Tween 80 at 0.1% increased cell dry mass to
8.90 g/l, cell yield to 44 g/100 g starch and protein yield to 7.4 g/1
00 g starch.
