Popis: The production of biomass using ground corn cobs and ground corn stalks and a 1:1 (w/w) mixture of the two was studied using Cellulomonas uda in a monoculture and in mixture with Candida utilis . The addition of C. utilis improved the amino acid content of the biomass. With the combination of C. uda and C. utilis , there was more soluble protein in the growth medium. With the addition of C. utilis to the corn cob fermentation, the relative nutritive value increased from 45.7% with a monoculture to 72.6% with a mixed culture. The crude protein also increased from 13.5 g/100 g to 21.1 g/100 g. The ratio of enzyme activity with carboxymethyl cellulose to that of filter paper was about two at the 5th day of fermentation.
