The Application of a Generic Feedstock from Wheat for Microbial Fermentations

摘要

The feasibility of a generic fermentation feedstock produced from wheat flour has been confirmed in several fermentations of yeasts, bacterium, and filamentous fungus for the productio of commodity chemicals. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was incubated for the observation of yeast growth and ethanol production, Pichia farinosa for glycerol production. Monascus purpreus for fungal growth and pigment production, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus for bacteria growth and lactic acid production. The results confirmed that the feedstock contained no inhibitory components to the strains tested. Similar of higher metabolite yields were obtained in comparison with other studies carried in commonly used media.
