Yeast cell wall β-glucans exhibit valuable functional properties, including therapeutic ones. The possibility of using deproteinated potato juice water (DPJW) with the addition of glycerol in yeast culture of Candida utilis ATCC 9950 for biosynthesis of β(1,3)/(1,6)-glucans of cell wall was determined. The biosynthesis of β-glucans was preferably intensified by media prepared from DPJW at pH 5.0 with 5 or 10 % addition of glycerol. Cells from these cultures were characterized and found to possess thickest cell walls and β-glucan layers. The content of β-glucans in the walls’ preparations was estimated to be approximately 44–45 % and was significantly higher in comparison with the content after culturing in synthetic YPD medium (approximately 31 %). The new developed media may be used in the production of C. utilis biomass with enhanced content of functional β-glucans. It creates the possibility of a favorable, simultaneous management of waste potato juice water and glycerol in the formation of β(1,3)/(1,6)-glucans.
