✦ Synopsis
A preliminary test for the enzymatic conversion of D-xylose into xyli-to1 by the intact cells of Candida pe,UicuLo.ba (xylose reductase) coupled with the intact cells of a for-mate-utilizing methanogen strain HU (hydrogenase and F42~-NADP oxidoreductase)
was conducted by using H2 as an electron donor of NADP+.
In the system, NADP(H) was well regenerated v& the methanogen cells and about 90% conversion of xylose to xylitol (ca. 8 g/l) could be achieved at 35OC and pH 7.5 after 24 h incubation.
