Abstract:
A methanol-utilizing yeast,Candida boidinii, was isolated from cow dung. It could grow on a medium containing methanol or liquid paraffin as the only carbon source. Its cell yield after 7 days of growth on methanol was 0.34 g g(-1) and on paraffin 0.30 g g(-1). The organism was able to tolerate up to 4% (v/v) methanol.
