Comparison of cellulose utilizations and biomass yields of cellulolytic Y. lipolytica grown for 120 h in aerobic cultivation on CIMV-cellulose (27.5 g/L) and Avicel (25 g/L)
| Strains | CIMV-cellulose consumed % | Biomass yield (g-DCW/g-CIMV consumed) | Avicel consumed % | Biomass yield (g-DCW/g-Avicel consumed) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YLC1 | 30.5 | 0.36 | 19.6 | 0.29 |
| YLC2 | 36.8 | 0.36 | 17.2 | 0.26 |
| YLC3 | 40.2 | 0.37 | 22.0 | 0.30 |
| YLC4 | 50.4 | 0.40 | 27.1 | 0.31 |
| YLC5 | 52.0 | 0.40 | 26.3 | 0.30 |
| YLC6 | 58.6 | 0.41 | 30.2 | 0.32 |
The mean value of three independent experiments is shown, and the standard deviation is less than 10%
