Candida peudo;DropLc~ ATCC 8619 was selected among nine strains of lactose-fermenting yeasts on the basis of its ability to ferment concentrated whey. In 28% (wt/vol) deproteinized whey solutions it produced an average of 12.4% (vol/vol) ethanol. This yeast could be used in a process for whey treatm

β¦ Synopsis
Living KZhyveromyces fragilis yeast cells were succesfully entrapped in calcium alginate gel beads at cell loadings of 4 to 16 g yeast (0.8 to 3.2 g d.m.) per 1 g of sodium alginate. In batch systems, about 90 % conversion in 48 h was obtained both with free and immobilized yeast using demineralized whey of 5 to i0 % lactose content as substrate. In continuous packed-bed column operation nearly a constant 2 Z oroduct ethanol concentration could be maintained at 5 % substrate lactose level for at least one month.

The organism used was Aspergillusfoetoidus (IMI 15954) which produces citric acid when grown on a defined synthetic medium. A preliminary study has been carried out to establish the performance characteristics of the modified CMMFF at various inlet substrate concentrations, dilution rates and biomas
Immobilized yeast was encapsulated with cell-free calciumalginate gel by two-step preparation procedure. The volume of coated film decreased with increasing cell concentration. The encapsulation did not affect ethanol production and could prevent cell leakage from the gels.
Because of its high content of lactose (4.5%), unprocessed whey was a very polluting waste and because of its very low percentage of dry matter whey was expensive and difficult to move. In spite of the existence of many valorization processes (concentration,' drying,2 and constituent extraction3',,
