Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Selenium-Enriched Yeast (Kluyveromyces marxianus) Biomass in a whey-based Culture MediumNicolás Gurdo, Mario Calafat, Diego Gabriel Noseda, Isabel GigliTwo important aspects of agriculture intensification are the reduction in the concentration of specific soil minerals that affects livestock production and the increase of agricultural by-products, which produce environmental pollution. In this regard, whey - a cheese by-product-often is considered a wasted-product. Due to its lactose concentration, (4.5%), when whey is discarded without treatment generates a high Biological Oxygen Demand … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2018 · 11,375 accessesView PDFCite
