BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a process for the continuous cultivation of yeast in multi-carbon media enriched by the addition of a source of growth substances and trace elements at optimal temperature and pH values. The initial phase of the cultivation process is conducted with at least a 10% excess of oxygen and the necessary mineral nutrients in the medium, and that the dilution rate with an initial value of 0.15 hr, preferably 0.1 hr-1, during cultivation increases by a p-value of at most 0.1 h_1, preferably 0.05 h-1, at least 12 to 48 hours after reaching steady state, and fo at maximum to maximum dilution rate. |
