Xylitol was produced as a metabolic by-product by a number of yeasts when grown on medium containing D-xylose as carbon and energy sources. Among the yeast strains tested, a mutant strain of Oandida tropicalis (HXP2) was found to produce xylitol from D-xylose with a high yield (>90%). Ethanol was a
The effect of redox potential on xylitol production by Candida parapsilosis was investigated. The redox potential was found to be useful for monitoring the dissolved oxygen (DO) level in culture media, especially when the DO level was low. An increase in the agitation speed in a 5 L fermentor result
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Xylitol, a sugar alcohol widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries, can be produced through biological reduction of xylose present in hemicellulose hydrolysates by __Candida tropicalis__. However, the aeration rate and byβproducts originating from hemicellulose h
