Original Abstract

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) represent the main coffee industry residues with a great potential to be reutilized in various biotechnological processes. In this study, several carotenogenic yeasts strains were exploited for the productionof vitamin-enriched biomass, cultivating in SCG-based media. Among four tested strains, Sporobolomyces roseus showed the highest potential for the accumulationof carotenoids. SCGcan be considered as potentially promising industrial waste stream for economically feasible production of enriched yeasts biomass.
