Quantitative physiology and biomass composition of Cyberlindnera jadinii in ethanol-grown cultures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Elimination of greenhouse gas emissions in industrial biotechnology requires replacement of carbohydrates by alternative carbon substrates, produced from CO₂ and waste streams. Ethanol is already industrially produced from agricultural residues and waste gas and is miscible with water, self-sterilizing and energy-dense. The yeast C. jadinii can grow on ethanol and has a history in the production of single-cell protein (SCP) for feed and food applications. To address a knowledge gap in quantitative physiology of C. jadinii during growth on ethanol, this study investigates growth kinetics, growth energetics, nutritional requirements, and biomass composition of C. jadinii strains in batch, chemostat and fed-batch cultures.

Results

In aerobic, ethanol-limit
