Studies of the biomass production during a continuous cultivation of yeasts on a nutrient medium, prepared from a hydrolysate from the production of microcrystalline cellulose, have been carried out. A new strain of yeasts has been used. Its cultivation has been achieved without addition of biostimulntors to the nutrient medium in spite of their absence in the initial hydrolysate. Practicslly EL complete assimilation of sugars has been .achieved at high dilution rates ( D = 0.25 to 0.50 h-1). The yield of biomass achieved is above 50% compared to the initial sugars and it contains 48.89% true protein. The results obtained offer the possibility of a complex utilization of the products of cellulose hydrolysis in the production of microcrystalline cellulose with a realization of a waste free technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
