The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product on innate immunity and intestinal microbial ecology after weaning and transport stress. In a randomized complete block design, before weaning and in a split-plot analysis of a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of yeast culture (YY) and transport (TT) after weaning, 3-d-old pigs (n = 108) we...

Ethanol has been reported to cause mycelial growth in Candida tropicalis Pk233, and mycelial growth has also been shown to be abolished by concomitant addition of myo-inositol. In this study, the process of ethanol-induced mycelial growth in this organism was examined in combination with cytological characterization of actin localization. Cultivation with ethanol gave biphasic growth curves. Du...

This paper presents a study of low-ultrasonic energy that can be affected to increase yeast growth. Forces of the ultrasonic stimulation in the yeast media broth, a liquid nutrient medium for the culture of yeast, produce change of liquid densities and surrounding pressure, which affect to the yeast growth. A utilized ultrasonic system including transducer of 20 kHz was varied powers and applie...

Apple pomace extract (APE) in aerobic variable fed batch culture under standardized fermentation parameters was evaluated for the production of baker’s yeast. The substrate was fed at a flow rate of 0.39 dm h to regulate fermentable sugar concentration between 1-2 % in bioreactor. An average specific growth rate of 0.24 h and cellular yield coefficient of 0.48 g/g sugar was obtained during bake...

There is a great call for using microbial bio-decaffeination approach to remove caffeinefrom caffeinated products and industrial wastes. We aimed in this study to screen strainsof yeasts which exhibit high caffeine tolerance and to investigate the bio-degradation ofcaffeine under growth conditions. Sixteen yeast strains were isolated from the cultivatedtea soils collected from sites of northern...

Two different growth media, namely complex and defined media, were used to examine establishment of steady-state conditions in phosphate-limited culture system of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK113-5D strain. Using the defined growth medium, it was possible to obtain steady state condition in the continuous culture. The effect of phosphate concentration on the growth of S. cerevisiae in pho...
