A Study on the Alcohol Distiller′s Waste Treatment by Microorganisms

미생물을 이용한 주정폐수처리공정에 관한 연구

Candide tropicalis was selected for its ability to utilize spent waste generated by the alcohol distillery using tapioca starch as a raw material. Optimum pH and temperature on batch culture of the organism were 4.0 and 3$0^{\circ}C$. The growth of the organism was markedly increased when 0.2% of ammonium sulfate, 0.002% of potassium phosphate dibasic, add 0.04% of magnesium sulfate were supplemented to the filtrate. At these conditions, maximum specific growth rate and saturation constant were 1.0 hr$^{-1}$ and 4.4 g.1$^{-1}$ , respectively. At a dilution rate of 0.5hr$^{-1}$ , a productivity of 1.84 g.1$^{-1}$ . hr$^{-1}$ was obtained and about 70% of carbohydrate was assimilated. Protein content of dried cell was about 60%.
