O. VOLFOVÁ, M. KMENTOVÁ, E. KYSLÍKOVÁ

Acidotolerant strain C. boidinii 2 was obtained from the parental strain n. 11Bh by selection pressures of formate and low ph of medium. Strain is growing in methanol-limited chemostat with maximum yield coefficient 40 % and content of rough proteins 60-65 % in a wide area of pH 2,8-4,2. The biomass is rich in vitamins of B group, mainly in B₂ (39,8 mg/100 g) and B₁ (18,3 mg/100 g). The proteins are rich in essential aminoacids lysine (6,3 %), leucine (6,2 %), threonine (4,7 %), fenylalanine (4,9 %) a tyrosine(3,9 %).
