Glucose prevented maltose utilization in batch culture ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae whereas in a mixed carbohydrate-limited system, maltose and glucose were consumed simultaneously. The specific activity of α-glucosidase depended on the dilution rate as well as the proportion of maltose in the mixture. The chemostat provides a way of reaching the low residual concentrations of glucose in the broth that are necessary to release catabolite repression and permit maltose induction of α-glucosidase.

3 substances, B1, B2, and E1 were isolated from culture medium extracts ofAureobasidium pullulans by reversed phase liquid chromatography and subsequent liquid chromatographic purification steps on silica gel.The 3 compounds inhibited the metabolism ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae and showed toxic effects in the growth inhibition test toEscherichia coli andBacillus subtilis.Elementary analysis and mass spectroscopical methods revealed sum formulas of C23H22O6, C22H20O6 and C24H28O3 for B1 B2, and E1 and molecular weights of 394, 380, and 364, respectively.

An industrial glucose analyser was partnered to an automated injection system to evaluate glucose in the culture medium of a bioreactor. This sensor has been validated on continuous cultures ofSchizosaccharomyces pombe and continuous and fed-batch cultures ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition to the advantage of a more accurate process monitoring, the main interest of this sensor deals with the control of the substrate concentration to a prespecified reference signal.
