The kinetics of growth and α-amylase production of a novel Candida wangnamkhiaoensis yeast strain were studied in single-stage steady-state continuous cultures. This was performed in a split-cylinder internal-loop airlift bioreactor, using a variety of carbon sources as fermentation substrates. Results
