Growth of the yeast Hansenula anomala with nitrate as sole source of nitrogen under aerobic and anaerobic conditions

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The oxygen requirement ofHansenula anomala growing in batch culture on nitrate as sole source of nitrogen was examined. An aeration rate of 0.03 vvm or a constant oxygen partial pressure of 0.01 bar is sufficient for optimal growth.
