| Description |
Candida utiilis NRRL Y-900 was grown on pineapple cannery waste as the sole carbon
and energy source in a chemostat at dilution rates ranging between 0.05 and 0.65 h–1 to determine
the growth kinetics. The cell yield coefficient varied with dilution rate and a maximum value of
0.662 ± 0.002 gx/gcarb was obtained at a dilution rate of 0.4 h–1. At steady state, the concentrations of
carbohydrate, reducing sugar, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) appeared to follow Monod
kinetics. At maximum specific growth rate ( max) 0.65 h–1, the saturation constants for
carbohydrate, reducing sugar and COD were 0.51 ± 0.02 gcarb/1, 0.046 ± 0.003 grs/1, and 1.036 ±
0.001 gCOD/1, respectively. Maximum biomass productivity (Q x max) 2.8 ± 0.03 gx/1 h was obtained
at a dilution rate of 0.5 h–1. At this dilution rate, only 71.0 ± 0.41% COD was removed whereas at a
dilution rate of 0.1 h–1, 98.2 ± 0.35% reduction in COD was achieved. At a dilution rate of 0.4 h–1,
the optimal yeast productivity and reduction in COD were 2.7 ± 0.13 gp/1 h, and 84.2 ± 0.42%,
respectively.
