Abstract: | In this work, the growth of the yeast Candida utilis on different solid substrate (wheat bran) and supports (sugarcane bagasse and Amberlite resin) imbibed with a liquid culture medium was studied. Growth was followed by sugars consumption, carbon dioxide production rate (CDPR) and cell count. The results showed the ability of the yeast to grow on the three solid media with fairly good viability and total dextrose consumption in the case of sugarcane bagasse and Amberlite, and partial consumption of wheat bran sugars. After two or three days of culture, a five hundred fold increase in cell population was observed. |
