摘要:
Many yeasts are capable of growing in culture media which contain propionate and n-butyrate ions as the principal or the sole significant source of carbon. Propionic and butyric acid are waste products of the petrochemical industry, and the yeast cells are a valuable feed supplement.

The disclosure relates to a novel process for the microbiological production of the enzyme invertase by culturing yeast strains of the variety Saccharmyces carlsbergensis Hansen under aerobic conditions in an aqueous nutrient medium.
摘要:
A COMPOUND HAVING A 16-(ETHERIFIED OR ESTERIFIED HYDROXY)-17-ACYLOXY-13-SUBSTITUTED GONA-1,3,5(10),8,14PENTAENE NUCLEUS IS OBTAINED BY ALLOWING A COMPOUND HAVING A 17-ACYLOXY-13-SUBSTITUTED 8,14-SECOGONA-1,3,5 (10),9(11),15-PENTAENE-14-ONE NUCLEUS TO CONTACT WITH AN ACID CATALYST IN PRESENCE OF ALCOHOL, PHENOL OR FATTY ACID, AND CONVERTING THE RESULTANT COMPOUND HAVING A 16-(ETHERIFIED OR ESTERIFIED HYDROXY)-17-ACYLOXY-13-SUBSTITUTED GONA-1,3,5(10),8,14-PENTAENE NUCEUS DIRECTLY OR AFTER REDUCTION OF ITS DOUBLE BOND AT THE 8-POSITION OR BANDS AT THE 8- AND 14-POSITIONS, TO A COMPOUND HAVING A 13-(HYDROCARBON SUBSTITUTED)GONAPOLYEN-17-ONE NUCLEUS. IT IS THUS MADE POSSIBLE TO EFFECT THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF THE GONA POLYENES (E.G. ESTRONE) VIA A LESSER NUMBER OF STEPS THAN HAS HERETOFORE BEEN POSSIBLE.
摘要:
A process of producing 2-keto-L-gulonic acid by fermentative conversion of L-sorbose utilizing a fermentation system composed of component produced from a microorganism having the identifying characteristics of strain DSM No. 4025 and a yeast component.
摘要:
Lysis of yeast cell walls in an aqueous medium by an enzyme which is capable of lysing the yeast cell walls is accelerated by effecting the lysis in the presence of a water-soluble sulfite or by effecting the lysis on the yeast which has been pretreated with a water-soluble sulfite. The water-soluble sulfite can contain another water-soluble inorganic salt or cupric ions.
摘要:
IN A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS, SUCH AS INTERMEDIATES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF STEROID HORMONES IN WHICH AN OPTICALLY INACTIVE COMPOUND OF THE FORMULA
Y-CI(-CH3)(-Z)2
WHEREIN C1 IS A SYMMETRIC CARBON ATOM AND THE TWO Z GROUPS ARE IDENTICAL ALIPHATIC GROUPS JOINED TOGETHER, EACH OF WHICH BEARS A KETO GROUP, AND Y IS THE REMAINDER OF THE MOLECULE, IS SUBJECTED TO A MICROBIOLOGICAL ENZYME SYSTEM TO PRODUCE AN OPTICALLY ACTIVE ANTIPODE OF THE FORMULA Y-CA(-CH3)(-Z)-Z''
WHEREIN Y AND Z HAVE THE VALUES GIVEN ABOVE, CA IS THE ASYMMETRICAL CARBON ATOM CORRESPONDING TO C1 AND Z'' IS A LIGAND OTHERWISE CORRESPONDING TO Z BEARING A HYDROXY RATHER THAN A KETO GROUP, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES EMPLOYING A MICROORGANISM SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ASPERGILLIUS OCHRACCEUS, BACILLUS ESTERFICANS, BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS AND SACCHAROMYCES UVARUM.
摘要:
IMPROVED QUALITY SINGLE-CELL PROTEIN FOOD MATERIALS ARE PREPARED BY EXTRACTION OF UNICELLULAR MICROOGRANISMS WITH AQUEOUS AMMONIA AT 90* TO 125*C. FOR FROM 5 TO 60 MINUTES. NUCLEIC ACIDS ARE REMOVED FROM THE CELLS WHILE THE PROTEIN CONTENT REMAINS HIGH.
摘要:
A fermentable sugar feed containing fermentable sugar oligomers is continuously converted by fermentation to dilute aqueous ethanol ("beer") in a series of agitated fermentation vessels employing at least two strains of yeast, one of which provides a relatively high rate of conversion of fermentable sugar to ethanol and the other of which provides a relatively high rate of conversion of fermentable sugar oligomer to ethanol.
