โฆ Synopsis
Biomass production and carbohydrate reduction were determined for a two-stage continuous fermentation process with a simulated potato processing waste feed. The amylolytic yeast Saccharomycopsisfibuligera was grown in the first stage and a mixed culture of S. fibuligera and Candida utilis was maintained in the second stage. All conditions for the first and second stages were fixed except the flow of medium to the second stage was varied. Maximum biomass production occurred at a second stage dilution rate, D,, of 0.27 h-'. Carbohydrate reduction was inversely proportional to D, between 0.10 and 0.35 h-'.

## Abstract The performance of a mesophilic twoโstage system generating hydrogen and methane continuously from sucrose (10โ30 g/L) was investigated. A hydrogenโgenerating CSTR followed by an upflow anaerobic filter were both inoculated with anaerobically digested sewage sludge, and ORP, pH, gas out
The feasibility of producing antibiotics by single-stage continuous fermentation was explored by means of a specially designed pilot plant. Both the chloramphenicol and penicillin processes appeared adaptable to such an operation. At dilution rates of 1.0 and 0.5 volume changes per day respectively,
