The invention discloses a strain of
yeast capable of decomposing
cellulose and applications thereof, and relates to
yeast having characteristic physiological functions. The
yeast is separated from a producing area of Luzhou-
flavor liquor in Yibin. The preservation number of the yeast is CGMCC No.9140. The yeast is named as
Debaryomyces hansenii. The growth temperature is 27 to 34 DEG C, the growth pH value is 4.5 to 6.5, the bacterium colony is white after being cultured in a YPD culture medium for 2 days at a temperature of 32 DEG C, the
diameter is around 5 mm, the surface is wet, smooth, and projected, the bacterium colony is easy to pick up, and the
cell is in a round shaped, and is produced through gemmation. After the yeast is cultured in a YPD
liquid culture medium with a pH value of 5.8 for 36 hours at a temperature of 32 DEG C, the activity of the
cellulose produced by the yeast is 1.837 U / mL. The yeast can be used to produce
high protein feed mainly composed of
cellulose, and the
protein content of white
vinasse can be increased by 60% or more. The yeast can also be used to produce
vinasse-free liquor, and the quality and output of the
vinasse-free liquor are both improved.
