Abstract
In this work the influence of atmospheric conditions on stability of alginate beads containing immobilized Yarrowia lipolytica yeast cells after their storage in field during five months of autumn-winter was measured. In laboratory, the influence of soil supplementation by yeasts on oats germination and autochthonic soil microflora was analyzed. Autumn-winter storaged beads contained living Y. lipolytica yeasts. Beads presence had a positive effect on autochthonic microflora, causing increase of microbial cells number. In laboratory tests, supplementation of soil by yeasts preparation (suspension or beads) caused amelioration of oats germination and increase in autochthonic microbial cells number. Obtained results clearly encourage to continue the study on formulation of Y. lipolytica yeasts bioproduct, designated to direct soil application.
