Abstract: | Summary Of ten, mainly oleaginous, yeasts examined for the ability to use glucose and xylose simultaneously, only one,Candida curvata D, was found which could do so. This yeast was examined further in a single-stage chemostat wherein it produced similar biomass yields, lipid contents and fatty acids on glucose plus xylose mixed in varying proportions. This oleaginous yeast would therefore be capable of growing on hydrolysed wood and straw wastes as a potential source of single cell oil. |
