Protein prodn - by cultivating yeasts torulopsis utilis or candida lipolytica on acid by-products of cyclohexane oxidation

摘要

The yeasts thrive on acid by-products of cyclohexane oxidn. (unlike many other microorganisms), the soln. of effluent used contng. 0.5-25 g/l. of the acids. This process helps to improve the economics of epsilon-caprolactam prodn.
