Candida tropicalis grows on soluble starch, corn, and cassava powders without requiring that these substrates be previously hydrolyzed. C. tropicalis possesses the enzyme needed to hydrolyze starch, namely, an alpha-amylase. That property has been used to develop a fermentation process whereby C. tropicalis can be grown directly on corn or cassava powders so that the resultant mixture of biomas...

Sugarbeet and fodder beet (Beta vulgaris L.) are being considered for fuel alcohol product ion (1,2). Sugarbeet is susceptible to Heterodera schachtii Schm., and yields are adversely affected (3). T h e effect of the nematode on fodder beet is not known. T h e objective of this study, therefore, was to compare certain aspects of the host-parasite relations of H. schachtii on sugarbeet and fodde...
