Abstract
The kinetic parameters of the yeast Debaryomyces hansenii grown in con tinuous cultivation on D-xylose were determined by different methods. While the values obtained for mu(m) by the steady state and the washou t methods only gave a 3% difference, the determined K-s values by the steady state and the maximal biomass output methods led a. to a 305% d ifference. The latter method was suggested to overestimate the K-s val ue.
