The strain was cultured in a synthetic medium that contained nitrate as the sole nitrogen source The time course for the growth, and the nitrate and the total organic carbon (TOC) removals were examined aerobically in the presence of 0-20% NaCl at 5℃. The effects of pH and the C/N ratio on the removal of nitrate were studied Candida sp. can remove more than 90% of nitrate up to an NaCl concentration of 10% in the medium As compared with 0% NaCl, 4% NaCl in the medium did not influence the growth rate and the removal of nitrate and TOC, but, at NaCl of 8 and 10%, the growth and removal of nitrate and TOC were decreased slightly. The yeast did not grow in the medium that contained NaCl of 15 and 20%. At pH of 3 to 7, yeast cells exhibited a similar removal nitrate level but it decreased at pH 1 and 2 The removal of nitrate increased with an increase in the C/N ratio and the nitrate in the medium was completely removed at a C/N ratio of 40. Nitrite was not observed in the cultured broth throughout the experiments The ammo acid composition of the yeast cells did not change with nitrogen sources.}, pages = {92--97}, title = {NITRATE REMOVAL BY ANTARCTIC PSYCHROPHILIC YEAST CELLS UNDER HIGH SALT CONDITIONS (19th Symposium on Polar Biology)}, volume = {11}, year = {1998} }
