Classified locality Yeasts have been culturing in plantology
department at the Faculty of Science-University of Damascus,
from genera of Pichia, Candida, Geotrichum, Rhodotorula, Phaffia
on solid Czhapek agar medium, and after incubated in appropr
iate
conditions their colonies showed evidence of different colors to
produce a variety of pigments. Then it cultured in liquid Czhapek
medium to increase biomass and the genera producing
endocellular pigment separated from the medium by filtration with
added ethanol on them and blasting cells by ultrasonic waves to
get a pigment, while the genera producing exocellular pigment is
separated about the liquid medium also by filtration but the solvent
was added to the medium containing the pigment.
The present study contains results of some experiments that had been
carried out to study the advantage of olive mill waste water (OMW) use ability
and in sugar's factories wastes in Syria as fungi cultures to produce stall-feed
rich in proteins.
The results showed that Geotrichum rich in proteins had been grown and
geminated more rapidly and revealed that inorganic nitrogen additions
(nitrates or ammonia) to the culture have advanced the fungi growth which is
rich in proteins, the highest quantity of proteins was (8.6 g/l) in NH4NO3 (1.5%)
media and urea (2.0%) media whereas the fungi biomass was higher with
NH4NO3 (1.5%) than with urea (2.0%).
