Abstract

  According to the literature data, the conversion of the ligno-cellulosic materials towards fodder yeasts involves first the use of some selected microbial strains able to produce the enzymatic factors and then the optimal yeasts. The factors with influence on this bioprocess are obviously the applied parameters but also the morphology of the studied microbial strains. The optimal used parameters can be establish by analytical determinations, but the morphology must be observed by optical microscopy, electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, contact angle, electrophoretic mobility measurements or even by atomic force microscopy. Our studies were realized by electron microscopy on the some previously selected strains of filamentous fungi and yeasts.
