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