NOVEL CANDIDA UTILIS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF PROTEIN

摘要

A single cell protein (SCP) is produced by cultivating yeast. The yeast is a candida sp., esp. candida utilis SH8636(I). (I) is cultured in the medium contg. 120g glucose soln. contg. 50% glucose, 40% corn steep liquor, 8g urea, 0.1g sodium chloride, 12mg FeSO4, 2mg MnSO4, 2mg CuSO4 and 0.2g antiforming agent at pH 3.54.0, 30 deg.C and atmospheric pressure for 12 hrs. The SCP is obtained by centrifuging the culture broth and drying at 60 deg.C for 48 hrs.
