| Abstract: | The possible role of sophorolipids from Torulopsis bombicola was investigated in alkane fermentation. Sophorolipids and related model compounds specifically stimulated the growth of strains of Torulopsis yeasts on insoluble alkanes and may act as a specific growth factor. There may be more than one way for a yeast to be stimulated to incorporate alkanes for growth. |
