Description

J 3~', 7 The present invention relates to the microbiologicalindustry, and more particularly to culture medium for cultivation of fodder yeasts.
Fodder yeasts are of great importance for the diet of animals and birds as a vitamin-protein additive to low-protein basic fodder. In addition, yeasts contain micro- and macroelements required for the metabolism processes. Yeasts are very valuable insofar as the indispensable amino acids.
There is known a culture medium for cultivation of ;
fodder yeasts, including a carbon source, namely, hydrolysate of vegetable matter with pH 4.0 - 4.4 and containing 1.25 - 1.75%
by weight of dry substance, 1 - 1.5~ by weight of reducing substances (RS), a nitrogen source, a phosphorus source and a potassium sourcewith the following proportions of the components, in ~ by weight~
hydrolysate of vegetable matter 98 ammonia water or ammonium sulphate, in terms of nitrogen ~ 0.02 - 0.03 ammonium blphosphate or super-phosphate, in terms of P2O5 0.03 - 0.45 potassium chloride or sulphate, in terms of potassium 0.016- 0.024 water the balance (cf. Soviet Journal "Gidroliznaja Lesokhimicheskaja Promyshlennost", No. 3, 1973, p. 1).
The term "hydrolysate of vegetable matter" as used here and hereafter, denotes a product of hydrolysis of ligneous wastes (sunflower seed husks, maize stumps, straw), which is obtained at hydrolysis plants by treating the above-mentioned ; 30 materials with diluted sulphuric acid at 120 - 130C under a pressure. The hydrolysate is neutralized to pH = 4 - 4.2 and used as the basic component of a culture medium for cultivation ,~ .

~3~`77 of fodder yeasts.
The yield of the biomass of fodder yeasts with the culture medium of the above composition usually is not higher than 45% by weight of the content of reducing substances (RS).
This is due to low biological quality of hydrolysates of vegetable matter and insufficient content of physiologically active substances therein.
Also known in the art is a culture medium for culti-vation of fodder yeasts, containing hydrolysate of vegetable 10 matter, hydrolysate of keratln wastes which function as a growth stimulator, and sources of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
However, this culture medium gives only a slight increase in the yield of the biomass of yeast, by as low as 5 - 8~ by weight.
In addition, hydrolysate of keratin wastes contained in the culture medium is hardlv available, since the range of stock materials for obtaining keratin is very limited. Collection and transportation of keratin products to hydrolysis plants is a very difficult job.
It is an object of the invention to improve the 20 yield of the biomass of fodder yeasts when cultivating the letter.
The above object is accomplished by the provision of a culture medium for cultivation of fodder yeasts, containing hydrolysate of vegetable matter with pH = 4.0 - 4.4, sources of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which, according to the invention also contains peat hydrolysate with pH = 4.0 - 4.4, with the following proportions of the components, in % by weight:
hydrolysate of vegetable matter 48 - 97 peat hydrolysate 0.5 - 50 source of nitrogen, in terms of nitrogen 0.02 - 0.08 source of phosphorus, in terms of P2O5 0.03 - 0.12 ~! -3-~" ~ , 1~ 3iL~7 source of potassium, in terms of potassium 0.016 - 0.064 water the balance.
The source of nitrogen may comprise an aqueous solution of ammonia or ammonium sulphate.
The source of phosphorus may ccmprise ammonium phosphate or calcium superphosphate.
The source of potassium may comprise potassium sulphate of chloride.
The culture medium having the above composition enables an improvement in the yield of the biomass of yeasts up to 70%
by weight, in terms of the reducing substances contained therein.
Hydrolysate of vegetable matter in the composition of the culture medium is obtained by using conventional methods, that is, by hydrolysis of wastes of vegetable products with diluted sulphuric acid. The hydrolysate is neutralized to pH =
4.0 - 4.4 and used as the basic component. The hydrolysate of vegetable matter may contain up to 5% by weight of dry substances and up to 4~ by weight of reducing substances.
The term "peat hydrolysate" is used here and hereafter to denote a product of hydrolysis of peat, obtained by treating peat with a small amount of concentrated sulphuric acid (about 18% in terms of dry weight of peat). The hydrolysis is conducted until oligosaccharides are obtained. Then the hydrolysate is diluted with water to the acid content of about 5~ and heated at 110 - 120C under a pressure. Under these conditions, oligosaccharides are converted into monosugars. Hydrolysate of peat containing monosuqars is neutralized to pH = 4.0 - 4.4, separated from the precipitate and used as a stimulator in the culture medium for accumulating the biomass of yeasts during cultivation thereof.
For obtaining peat hydrolysate, yonger peat should be used, that is upper, slightly decomposed layers of peat.
Such peat contains much polysaccharides which are converted, during hydrolysis, into monosugars functioning as a carbon source for microorganisms. Therefore, the addition of peat hydrolysate to the culture medium improves its nutritive value and strongly inEluences the process of cultivation of micro-organisms, in ultimately resulting in an improved yield of the biomass.
As stated above, the amount of peat hydrolysate should be within the range of from 0.1 to 50%. The addition of more than 50% of peat hydrolysate does not result in improved y~eld of the biomass of yeasts, so that it is inexpedient to add more than 50% of the hydrolysate.
Peat hydrolysate may also be used in the form of a concentrate For that purpose, peat hydrolysate is concentrated by evaporation to the content of dry substances up to 30 - 60%
by weight. This concentrated peat hydrolysate may be added to the culture medium in an amount of 0.1 - 5% b.y weight, and this will suffice to attain the desirable result, that is, to improve the yield of the biomass. The use of peat hydrolysate in the concentrated form largely facilitates storage and transportation. Therefore, it is preferable to employ the composition of a culture medium for cultivation of yeasts, in which peat hydrolysate is used in the form of concentrates, with the proportion of the components being as follows, in %
by weight:
hydrolysate of vegetable matter 90 - 97 peat hydrolysate 0.1 - 5 source of nitrogen, in terms of nitrogen 0.02 - 0.08 source of phosphorus, in terms of P2O5 0.03 - 0.12 ~. ~ .

~1~ 31t77 source of potassium, in terms of potassium 0.016 - 0.065 water the balance.
Addition of peat hydrolysate to the culture medium improves the nutritive value of the culture medium, thus favourably affecting the growth and development of micro-organisms. This can be explained by that microorganisms can better and more actively assimilate sources of carbon which they scarcely assimilated hereafter, due to the presence of substances contained in the peat hydrolysate.
Yeasts and cultivated in accordance with conventional techniques adopted in the microbiological industry, that is, continuously and under aeration.
The invention will be better understood from the description of the following examples. Contents are given in % by weight.
Example 1 1.2 g of MH4H2PO and 0~8 g of KCl were added to 1 1 of hydrolysate of ligneous wastes containing 2.7% of RS obtained underindustrialconditions, neutralized with ammonia water and milk of lime to pH = 4.2 and filtered off from the resultant precipitate.
Introduced into the resultant solution was 0.08 1 of peat hydrolysate containin~ 3% of RS neutralized with ammonia water and milk of lime to pH = 4.2 and separated by filtering off from non-hydrolysed residue and gypsum.
Cultivation of fodder yeasts Candida tropicalis in the resultant culture medium was conducted continuously at 35 - 37C and with pH = 4.2 - 4.4, the pH being adjusted withln the above-mentioned limits by using ammonia water.
The resultant biomass was separated from liquor by filtering and dried. The yield of the yeasts was 59.7%, in terms of the , ! ~ 6 ., : ' '~.`,':

Example 2 5 g of concentrate of peat hydrolysate obtained by evaporation concentration containing 40.8% of dry substance, 1.2 g of NH4H2PO4 and 0.8 g of KCl were added to 1 1 of hydrolysate of ligneous wastes as in Example 1.
Fodder yeasts Candida tropicalis were cultivated in the resultant cultllre medium continuously at 35 - 37C with pH = r 4.2 - 4.4, the pH being adjusted within the above-mentioned limits with ammonia water. The resultant biomass was separated from liquor by filtering and dried. The yield of the yeasts was 60%, in terms of the total amount of RS.
Peat hydrolysate was obtained by mechanical and chemical treatment of yonger peat with a moisture content of .. . .
up to 25% using an auger hydrolyzer in the presence of 92%
sulphuric acid used in an amount of 18% by weight of dry peat.
The resultant peat hydrolysate was allowed to stay at 120C
for 20 minutes and neutralized with ammonia water to Ph = 4.2.
This peat hydrolysate was used as a stimulator of the culture medium.
- Chemical compositions of peat hydrolysate and hydroly-sate of vegetable matter are given in Table 1.

Peat hydrolysate also contains more nitro-gen-containing substances (physiologically active substances) than hydrolysate or vegetable matter. Thus, peat hydrolysate improves the nutritive value of the culture medium used for cultivation of microorganisms, thereby ultimately improving the yield of the biomass.
The influence of peat hydrolysate on the yield of the biomass of fodder yeasts is shown in Table 2.
