Abstract

The aerobic growth of Schizosaccharomyces sp. on skim latex serum was studied. The maximum yeast concentration of about 7 per litre serum was reached after 30 h of cultivation on sulphuric acid coagulated serum and after 48 h on formic acid coagulated serum. The average specific growth rates for the yeast grown on formic and sulphuric acid coagulated sera were 0.027 per hour respectively. Irrespective of the type of skim latex serum used the chemical oxygen demand reduction after four days of batch cultivation was about 80 percent indicating yeast cultivation can be used to treat rubber effluent
