석유에 효모를 길러 식량 내지 사료로 이용할것을 목적으로 전국 각지의 100여점의 토양시료로부터 400여주의 탄화수소이용 효모균주를 분리하고 그 중 가장 균체수율이 좋은 균주를 선정하여 동정 하였다. 그 균주의 석유탄화수소 배지에서의 배양최적조건, 생육경과 및 균체조성을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 우수균주로 신정된 효모는 Candida curvata-SNU 70으로 동정되었다. 2. 선정호모의 적정 증식배지조성은 다음과같다 Light Gas Oil 30ml, $(NH_2)_2CO$ 400mg, $(NH_4)_2\;SO_4$ 100mg, $KH_2PO_4$ 670mg, $Na_2HPO_4{\cdot} 12H_2O$ 330mg. $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ 500mg, $CaCO_3$ 3g, Yeast Extract 50mg, Tween 20 0.05ml, Tap Water 1000ml. 3. 선정효모의 배양조건은 pH $5.5{\sim}7.0,\;30^{\circ}C$, 및 충분한 통기조건이 적당함을 알았다. 4. 유가법은 특히 10% 이상의 고농도배양에서 효과를 보였다. 5. 선정효모, Candida curvata-SNU 70는 lag phase가 16시간 까지이고 다음 28시간까지가 대수기임을 알 수 있었으며, 대수기에서 비증식율, ${\mu}x$는 $0.22hr^{-1}$이고 doubling time은 3.2시간이었다. 6. 얻어진 최적조건에서 2일간 배양시켜 Light Gas Oil에 대한 균체수율 16.1%를 얻었으며 건조세포의 단백질함량은 48.4%였다.

In order to obtain basic information on the production of single cell protein from petroleum, more than 400 yeast strains were isolated from various soil samples in Korea utilizing petroleum hydrocarbon as the sole carbon source. A yeast strain showing the highest cell yield among the isolated strains was selected and identified. The optimal culture condition was searched in the flasks shaken throughout the procedure. And the growing characteristics for the selected yeast strain and chemical analysis of the yeast cell component were carried out. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The selected yeast strain was identified as Candida curvata and we named it Candida curvata-SNU 70. 2. The composition of the medium proposed for the present yeast strain is: Light Gas Oil 30ml, Urea 400mg, Ammonium sulfate 100mg, Potasium phosphate (monobasic) 670mg, Sodium phosphate (dibasic) 330mg, Magnesium sulfate 500mg, Calcium carbonate 3g, Yeast extract 50mg, Tween 20 0.05ml, Tap water 1,000ml. 3. Other culture conditions employed for the yeast were pH 5.5-7.0, temp. $30^{\circ}C$ under an affluent aerobic state. 4. Addition of light gas oil in portions to the culture media as the growth proceeded was more effective, especially in the cultivation on the higher oil concentration media. 5. Studies on the propagation of the yeast cells in the light gas oil medium revealed that the yeast has the lag phase lasted 16 hours and the logarithmic growth phase covered 16 to 28 hours. The specific growth rate was about $0.22\;hr^{-1}$ and doubling time was 3.2 hrs. during the logarithmic growth phase. 6. Under the cultural condition employed, the cell yield against the amount of light gas oil (wt%) was 16.1% and the protein content of the dried yeast cells was 48.4%.
