Biodegradation of deproteinized potato wastewater and glycerol during cultivation of Rhodotorula glutinis yeast

Background Deproteinized potato wastewater and glycerol are two by-products which are difficult to dispose. The objective of this study was to determine the ability of Rhodotorula glutinis to use glycerol and nitrogen compounds present in deproteinized potato wastewater and to evaluate the ability o...
