| Abstract: | Candida lipolytica was cultured on a methanol containing medium as the only C source. The influence of different concentrations of methanol and ammonium sulphate and the effect of addition of some biological active materials to the methanol containing medium were studied. Dry cell yield of C. lipolytica and protein content were determined to be 23.1 g of cells/100 g of methanol added and 40.2%, respectively. Total lipids, phospholipids, keto acid and amino acid composition were estimated. The amino acid composition of the protein was comparable to the composition of the other reported single cell proteins (SCP). These results indicate that C. lipolytica is potentially important for fodder use. |
