High lipase production by Candida rugosa is associated with G1 cells. A flow cytometry study

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Growth of C. rugosa on three different culture media was analysed by laser flow cytometry to evaluate physiological growth conditions allowing effective lipase production. The highest productivity was associated with an increased proportion of cells in the G1 phase and was independent of the effect of the medium on lipase formation.
