Effect of distiller's slops on growth of methylotrophic yeasts on methanol.Peer-reviewed article

O. VOLFOVÁ, M. KMENTOVÁ

Effect of distiller's slops addition on growth of acidotolerant strain Candida boidinii 2 in medium with methanol as a carbon source was tested. The addition of distiller's slops was in a range from 2 to 10 g/l. Experiments were performed in 500 ml flasks and in the fermenters of 3 and75 l. The results proved that the addition of distiller's slops eliminates the lag-phase, increases the cell growth rate on methanol, enables to achieve a high biomass concentration in the medium and stabilizes the fermentation process. The biomass has high content of proteins.
