Isolation of thermotolerant yeast Pichia kudriavzevii from nuruk

초록

Thermotolerant yeast strains were isolated from nuruk, a traditional Korean fermentation starter in which variety of microorganisms are present. Among the isolates, the MBY1358 identified as yeast Pichia kudriavzevii showed significantly higher growth rate (0.59 +/- 0.00 1/h) at 44 A degrees C than other strains. Maximum ethanol concentration of 8.35 +/- 0.03 g/L was obtained from 20 g/L glucose with yield of 0.44 +/- 0.01 g/g at 44 A degrees C, which is 1.14 times ethanol production of the control strain of P. kudriavzevii. The MBY1358, which was significantly more thermotolerant than the control strain and fermented 200 g/L glucose to 107.33 +/- 5.03 g/L ethanol at 44 A degrees C, was deposited to Korean Collection for Type Cultures (KCTC) under the accession number 27654.
