## Abstract The yeast __Pachysolen tannophilus__ was found to be capable of converting Dβxylose to ethanol. Batch cultures initially containing 50 g/L Dβxylose yielded 0.34 g of ethanol per gram of pentose consumed. Aerobic conditions were required for cell growth but not for ethanol production. Bo

## Abstract The fermentation of mixtures of Dβglucose and Dβxylose by three nonβtraditional yeasts: __Candida shehatae__ (ATCC 34887), __Pachysolen tannophilus__ (ATCC 32691) and __Pichia stipitis__ (ATCC 58376) have been studied to determine the optimal strain and initial culture conditions for th
Considerable interest in the D-xylose catabolic pathway of Pachysolen tannophilus has arisen from the discovery thatthis yeast iscapableoffermenting D-xylosetoethanol. In this organism D-xylose appears to be catabolized through xylitol to D-xylulose. NADPH-linked D-xylose reductase is primarily resp
