Torula utilis yeast strain

Fe-enriched cytochrome c from Torula utilis yeast strain 321 has been similarly examined at low temperatures, and the S = i oxidised form is basically similar to haemoglobin cyanide [22]. Spectrum simulation using the e.s.r. g-values for horse-heart cytochrome c was partially successful. The applied-field technique gave a positive value for e qQ in the S = 0 iron(II) cytochrome c, with an asymmetry parameter of rj 0-5,... 

A strain of Torula utilis has been acclimatized by continuous transfer so that it gives high yields by either batch or continuous fermentation in a series of tanks. Fig. 6 shows the improvement in alcohol production in a continuous fermentation with Torula utilis No. 3, a strain of yeast obtained from the University of Wisconsin. 

In the growing of food yeast on wood sugar, one of the most difficult problems is that of foaming. This difficulty has been largely overcome by a fermenter designed for use in the production of yeast from sulfite waste liquor in the Waldhof plant at Mannheim. A modification of the fermenter was used for the continuous production of yeast on wood sugars in America. Fermentation periods of 2.6 to 3 hours were obtained with a strain of Torula utilis. Yields were 38 to 49% of the total sugar.
