Kinetics of batch ethanol fermentation of cheese-whey powder (CWP) solution as function of substrate and yeast concentrations

TL;DR: A kinetic model describing the rate of sugar utilization and substrate inhibition as function of the initial substrate and the biomass concentrations was developed and results indicated that the initial sugar concentration should be below 75 g l (-1) (CWP<156 g l(-1)) and the initial biomass should be above 850 mg l(- 1) to obtain high rates and yields of ethanol formation and to avoid substrate inhibition.

Physiology of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in anaerobic glucose-limited chemostat cultures

TL;DR: The physiology of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 8066 was studied in anaerobic glucose-limited chemostat cultures in a mineral medium supplemented with ergosterol and Tween 80, suggesting that the observed difference in cell yield may be ascribed to an uncoupling effect of acetic acid.

Bioconversions for whey utilization and waste abatement

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that higher BOD reductions can be achieved by combined processes, such as methane production from whey distillery effluents, but in most cases some aerobic treatment prior to final disposal is also required.

Regulation of primary carbon metabolism in Kluyveromyces lactis.

TL;DR: First insight into the molecular basis for the different regulatory strategies is beginning to emerge from comparative studies on S. cerevisiae and K. lactis, suggesting that different physiological responses result from modified interactions of similar molecular modules.
