Biotechnological studies concerning the obtaining of biomass with probiotic role from yeasts and bacteria

Two approaches for obtaining microbial biomass with probiotic action have
been examined. Firstly, a mixture of three different yeast strains belonging to
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida robusta and Hansenula polymorpha was
cultivated at micropilot level and the bioprocess flow sheet for obtaining the viable biomass was established. Secondly, the optimal conditions for cultivation of Lactobacillus plantarum CMG.B –3 in a wine spirits based medium were presented. The lactobacilli biomass obtained under these conditions could be used as inoculant for silage, for improving the quality of fodders.
