Summary
Growth of Candida valida on ethanol in pH-auxostat and chemostat has been studied. Maximal growth rate, μm, and cell biomass yield, Y s, display the Arrhenius dependence on temperature within the ranges 18°–30° C and 30°–36° C and an abrupt fall above 36° C. The temprature dependence of both parameters has breaks at 30° C and 36° C. Activation energies have been measured for both μm and Y s. The reason for a weaker effect of temperature on Y s than on μm is discussed.
