✦ Synopsis

Aureobasidium pullulans produced extracellularly considerable amounts of polyols in the media with sucrose, glucose, fructose and mannose as sole carbon source during the late exponenti~tl and stationary phase of growth. The maximum yield of polyol was about 23% in the 20%(w/v) sucrose medium, of which mannitol was the main polyol associated with minute quantities of glycerol. Stress solutes such as NaC1 and KC1 did not promote polyol production.
