A mutant strain of Candida sp. XF 217, was found to produce ethanol from D-xylose aerobically as weil as anaerobically. The rate of ethanol production under aerobic conditions was greater, indicating an oxygen requirement for the uptake of D-xylose in XF 217. Ethanol was also produced by XF 217 when

## Abstract The yeast __Pachysolen tannophilus__ was found to be capable of converting D‐xylose to ethanol. Batch cultures initially containing 50 g/L D‐xylose 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 D‐glucose and D‐xylose by three non‐traditional 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
A quick technique for determination of kinetic parameters of fermentation processes is proposed and applied to the transformation of D-xylose into ethanol by Pichia stipitis. The commonly used method to evaluate these parameters is based on achieving several steady states. In the proposed procedure,
