Among nitrogen sources tested, soya peptone, yeast extract power,beef extract and polypeptone were relatively favorable to the growth of yeast. Thedensity of the yeast showed to be directly proportional to carbon sources supplementation.Glucose and fructose were good carbon sources for the yeast growth. However, lactoseshowed poor performance for the cell growth of the yeast. In this study, beef extractpresented a good synergic effect on the yeast growth with different carbonhydrates. Themedium for P.membranefaciens used glucose and beef extract as substrates. The higherconcentration of glucose and beef extract, the better growth of P.membranefaciens. Theaddition of chlorella growth factor (CGF) stimulated markedly the growth of P.membranefaci-ens.The increased concentration of CGF from 0.5 to 1% did not enhance the numbers ofP.membranefaciens. This result will help design a better strategy for scale-up produc-tion of P.membranefaciens.展开更多

From Korean traditional fermentation agent, Nuruk, we have isolated 8 yeasts which produced rich aromatic compounds using YEPD agar plates (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% dextrose, 2% agar) containing 50 uL cerulenin at 30℃. The isolated aromatic yeasts are identified as Pichia anomala (4 strains), Pichia fabianii (2 strains), Pichia farinose (1 strains), Geotrichum candidum (1 strains). We conducted alcohol fermentation with each of the aromatic yeasts and the compounds (ethyl caproate and isoamyl alcohol) producing range were 59.5 - 193.2 ppm and 10.8 - 91.6 ppm respectively. As a control, Fermivin®, famous aromatic wine yeast, was 89.4 ppm and 16.2 ppm respectively. We also find that the isolated Pichia anomala could produce higher level ethanol (4.2% - 5.0%, v/v) than other species (0.4% - 2.2%, v/v). Using the aromatic yeasts in fermentation industries, we expect to improve the quality of traditional alcoholic beverages.展开更多

The best isolate that produced up to 4% ethanol from 10% glucose at 45°C was selected for further experiments. The optimum pH for ethanol production by the isolate was pH 6 at both 30°C and 42°C. The isolate was identified as Pichia kudriavzevii base on the 18s ribosomal DNA. Ethanol production from 200 g/L cassava pulp using Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) method at 30°C and 42°C by the isolate was investigated. At 30°C, an ethanol concentration of 30 g/L was produced. This represents an ethanol yield of 0.15 g/g of cassava pulp and 58.8% of the theoretical yield. However at 42°C, the concentration of ethanol produced increased to 42 g/L representing an ethanol yield of 0.21 g/g of cassava pulp and 82.4% of the theoretical yield. The isolate produced slightly higher ethanol than the two typed strains NCYC 587 and NCYC 2791 at 42°C. This isolate has a good potential to be used for commercial bioethanol production since it can produce ethanol at 45°C without a significant drop in ethanol yield.展开更多
