β¦ Synopsis
Production of ethanol from glucose and xylose by different Fusarium strains has been studied in shake flask cultures. The best strain was Fusarium oxysporum VTT-D-80134.
The best ethanol yields were 50 % ethanol on both sugars.
The fermentation time was 3 days on glucose and 6 days on xylose.

## Yeasts capable of fermenting both o-xylose and cellobiose to ethanol were screened. Of 213 species of yeasts surveyed, Kluyveromyces cellobiovorus sp. nov.. a new species belonging to genus of Kluyveromyces, was selected as the sole strain. This strain accumulated 32, 22, and 19 g/L of ethanol
