Production of dextranase byLipomyces starkeyi

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The optimal growth rate ofLipomyces starkeyi, with dextran as sole carbon source, was found within the pH range 2.5–4.0, and temperature between 25–30°C. This yeast was unable to grow above 33°C. Dextranase production optima paralleled growth optima, except at pH 2.5. Decrease in enzyme yield at this pH could not be attributed to poor yeast growth or enzyme stability.
