Notes:
Thirteen yeast species belonging to nine genera were screened for the production of single-cell protein (SCP) using cheese whey as the substrate. Cheese whey supplemented with minerals and yeast extract proved to the best medium for yield, lactose utilization, biomass production, and conversion efficiency. Production of β-galactosidase was studied in Brettanomyces anomalus, Kluyveromyces fragilis, Trichosporon cutaneum, and Wingea robertsii; the last proved to be the best strain combining high yield with shorter incubation period.
