In a low dilution rate study an unexpected pa-related inhibition of yeast fermentation was found. A higher volumetric rate of ethanol production occurred at lower pH values (2.8 to 3.2), suggesting a low optimum PH.

## Abstract The influence of temperature (15Β° β40Β°C) and pH (2.5β6.0) on the continuous growth of bakers' yeast (__Saccharomyces cerevisiae__) at steady state in 1% ethanol was investigated. Optimal temperature and pH were 30Β°C and 4.5, respectively. The shortβterm effect of ethanol concentration (
The rate of fermentation of glucose by Saccharomyces uvarum in steadystate continuous culture in excess of substrates showed non-competltive inhibition kinetics with respect to ethanol. A model is presented which predicts that growth stops at a Finite ethanol concentration, which was calculated to b
A new apparatus for continuous ethanol production with internal separation of yeast cells is described. The removal of cell-free medium is accomplished by cake filtration through a thin layer of diatomaceous earth. By using a feeding pump connected with a level meter, fresh medium is supplied at the
original cultures showed an acid production for about 10 hours to a minimum pH of about 6.7, after which there was an abrupt rise in pH to over 8 5 . The cellobiose-positive variants from these cultures reduced the pH of the medium to a value around 5.5 in 20 hours. Frequently the acid production wa
