Notes:
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 biostimulators to the nutrient medium in spite of their absence in the initial hydrolysate. Practically a 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.
