[Comparative studies of the growth behavior of wild strains and fusion hybrids of Pichia guilliermondii in discontinuous and continuous culture].

The influence of several temperatures on the wild strain Pichia guilliermondii Pg 0799 and a selected fusion product fp 3/9 was studied in batch- and continuous cultures. Growth and substrate utilization of both strains were compared by determination of specific growth rates, yield coefficients and biomass production. The results showed, that strain fp 3/9 has in general a higher optimum of temperature for biomass production.
