Phaffia rhodozyma

Disruption of Yeast Cells Xanthophyllomyces Dendrorhous (Phaffia Rhodozyma) by Vibration Resonant Low-Frequency Cavitator

The goal of the study is to optimize the mode of disruption of the yeast Phaffia rhodozyma KNH 1 by a vibration-resonant low-frequency cavitator (VLC). The destruction of the cell biomass of yeast culture P. rhodozyma strain KNH 1 was carried out in VLC with water cooling, the capacity of 800 W, and resonant frequencies of vibrations of 30 Hz, 35 Hz, 37 Hz, 37.8 Hz, 39 Hz, 50 Hz, and in the presence of nitrogen in the reaction medium. Our data suggest that the yield of processed biomass by the treatment of yeast culture in VLC depends on the culture age and the mode of the treatment.
