Production of yeast extract from whey using Kluyveromyces marxianus

Production of inulinase from Kluyveromyces marxianus using dahlia tuber extract

Various carbon sources were evaluated for production of inulinase by yeast, Kluyveromyces marxianus MTCC 3995. Highest inulinase activity was observed with Dahlia extract (25.3 nkat mL(-1)) as carbon source. The enzyme activity was 1.4 folds higher than that observed in media containing pure chicory inulin (17.8 nkat mL(-1)). The yeast showed good growth on a simple medium containing dahlia ext...

Studies on the Optimiization of Biomass Production Using Kluyveromyces Marxianus Isolated from Paneer Whey

In the present study Kluyveromyces marxianus isolated from paneer whey was employed for biomass production. Various parameters like pH, temperature and nitrogen source were optimized for maximum biomass yield. The biomass yield was studied to vary with different nitrogen sources, pH and temperature. Ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate, beef extract and yeast extract were used as nitrogen source...

Production and purification of lactase of Kluyveromyces fragilis from whey

Kinetics of Bioethanol Production from Lactose Converted by Kluyveromyces Marxianus

A kinetic model for ethanol fermentation of lactose using yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus DSMZ 5422 is proposed. The model consists of a set of differential equations which account for substrate consumption, ethanol production and biomass production. In the model, it is assumed that alcoholic fermentation is inhibited by ethanol itself and that a different metabolic pathway is set at certain etha...

OPTIMIZATION OF INULINASE PRODUCTION USING COPRA WASTE BY Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus

Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus was found to secrete a large amount of extracellular inulinase in to the medium. The optimization of inulinase production using copra waste as a carbon source was performed with statistical methodology based on experimental designs. The screening of eighteen nutrients for their influence on inulinase production was achieved using a Plackett– –Burman design...
