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 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
