Yeasts growth

Low temperature (It) tars of Eischer-Tropsch (ET) fractions provide reasonable substrates for growth of yeast for human or animal food supplements. Yeast growth yields were 99.8% (ET fraction), 95.2 and 84.2% (It tar) of those from a petroleum-derived paraffin fraction (63) (see Eoods, nonconventional). 

Grape and apple juices usually contain all of the trace nutrients required by Saccharomjces for fermentation of sugars to alcohol. Other fmit and diluted honey, as well as barley malt and rice extract, frequendy need additions of nitrogen, phosphoms, and potassium compounds, together with some autolyzed yeast to faciUtate the yeast growth necessary for fermentation. Stimulation oiy4.cetobacter frequendy requires the addition of autolyzed... 

Fermentations in larger vessels and the final trade fermentation are conducted under quasi-stetile conditions, and yeast growth is accompanied by some growth of contaminant bacteria. These are generally lactic acid-producing organisms but are sometimes coHform bacteria the occurrence of Salmonella in fermentor Hquids has not been reported. Massive contamination with Oidium lactis or wild yeasts has been reported. 

Candida utilis is grown on sulfite waste Hquor in Western Europe and North America, on sugar cane molasses in Cuba and Taiwan and on ceUulose acid hydrolysates in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. C. ///i/if utilizes hexoses, pentoses, and many organic acids. Sulfite Hquor from hardwoods contains 2—3% fermentable sugars of which 20% are hexoses and 80% pentoses in softwood Hquors the proportions are reversed. The SO2 must be stripped out to allow yeast growth, which is carried out in large, highly-aerated fermentors. Eor continuous fermentations, carried out at pH 4 and 30°C, the dilution rate is 0.27—0.30 (34). 

The yeast must be so finely dispersed throughout the wort that a quick yeast growth is assured, which leaves no possibiUty for other microorganisms, if any, to develop. The inoculation of yeast occurs through injection directly into the wort pipe. To be used in the next batch of wort, the yeast that is harvested after the end of fermentation must be protected against contamination. 

For the maximum level, 5% or more of carbon substrate is consumed by yeast growth and by-product formation. 

After 30 hours, the maximum and critical fermentation is underway and the pH must remain above 4.0 for optimal fermentation. However, accompanying bacterial contamination from various sources such as yeast contamination, improper cleaning procedures, slow yeast growth, or excessive temperatures can result in a pH below 4.0. The remaining amylase enzymes, referred to as secondary conversion agents, are inactivated and can no longer convert the dextrins to maltose. Under these circumstances, the fermentor pH continues to drop because of acid production of the bacteria, and the pH can drop to as low as 3.0. The obvious result is a low ethanol yield and quaUty deterioration. 

Aeration required for aerobic growth removes ethanol (produced by yeast growth) from the medium, keeping ethanol levels below inhibitory concentrations, thus giving a higher yield. 

The respiratory quotient (RQ) is often used to estimate metabolic stoichiometry. Using quasi-steady-state and by definition of RQ, develop a system of two linear equations with two unknowns by solving a matrix under the following conditions the coefficient of the matrix with yeast growth (y = 4.14), ammonia (yN = 0) and glucose (ys = 4.0), where the evolution of C02 and biosynthesis are very small (o- = 0.095). Calculate the stoichiometric coefficient for RQ =1.0 for the above biological processes ... 

The poor activities of pectic enzymes in the cultivation medium led us to prove the cell cytosole and the cell walls for these activities. The cytosole contains only traces of polygalacturonase activity, but the suspension of cell walls established the activity which seems to be widely sufficient for yeast growth and development. The characterization of this cell wall bound enzymes will be the object of our next studies.

Initial attempts at producing the Thr mutant of Pro-35 were unsuccessful in producing sufficient quantities of the mutant protein for functional analysis [129], suggesting that cytochrome c is significantly more sensitive to modifications at this prolyl residue than at Pro-71. Either the Thr-35 mutant is not properly processed to mature cytochrome c, it is less thermally stable than wild-type iso-2-cytochrome c, or its functional properties are sufficiently perturbed that it cannot function adequately under physiological conditions to support yeast growth. 

Spoilage of food is a very important engineering issue in the food industry. This has two main forms bacterial and yeast growth and oxidation.
