Popis: Several yeasts were isolated from a drainage canal in a Japanese fish food processing factory. They were characterized by the decomposition of organic polymers such as proteins and reducing sugars, their growth in the wastewater, the decrease in total organic carbon (TOC), and taxonomy. Three strains of yeast dominated the sample: Debaryomyces occidentalis (P1), Trichosporon ovoides (P19), and a strain that could not be identified (S27). Strain P19 had the highest TOC-decreasing activity and was immobilized onto chitosan beads. The immobilized yeasts reduced the TOC from 1.2 x 10(3) to 3.0 x 10(2) mg of C/L per day in the fish cannery wastewater.
