Abstract

Quantitative aspects of C1 metabolism by chemostat cultures of Pichia pastoris have been studied. Under methanol limitation the maximum growth yield was 0.41 (g/g), the maintenance energy was 9.1 mg CH3OH/g.h and the μmax was estimated to be 0.18 h−1. Formate was utilized by methanol-limited cultures, and increased the cell yield approx. 20% as compared to that on methanol alone.
