ABSTRACT
The optimal conditions for the degradation of the cell wall of Yarrowia lipolytica yeast, leading to the release of intracellular proteins by hydrolases of Trichoderma and Aspergillus moulds, were determinated. Hydrolysis of Y. lipolytica yeast biomass was performed with the use of various amounts of concentrated or non-concentrated enzymes, as well as yeast biomass subjected or not subjected to thermal inactivation. The analysis of enzymatic hydrolysis process demonstrated that the most effective was the 8-hour hydrolysis of thermally not inactivated Y. lipolytica yeast biomass with 6-fold concentrated enzymatic preparation, which resulted in the release of 127.86 mg of intracellular proteins per 1 g dry biomass.
Key words: chitinases, SCP, Trichoderma, Aspergillus, laminarinases.
