The strain was cultured at 5°C aerobically, on a synthetic medium containing potassium nitrate (NO_3-N, 100 mgl^<-1>) as a nitrogen source, and examined the effects of pH and chlorine on growth and NO_3-N removal in the medium. Within the pH of 3 to 7 the yeast cells exhibited a similar removal of nitrate level. The strain grew well and also removed nitrate at chlorine concentrations of 5 and 10 mgl^<-1> but did not grow at chlorine concentration of 20 mgl^<-1>. Decreasing the growth temperature induced an increase in the content of linolenic acid (18:3) in the yeast cells.}, pages = {43--48}, title = {Removal of nitrogen by Antarctic yeast cells at low temperature}, volume = {16}, year = {2003} }
