We report the isolation of mutant strains of the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha that are able to efficiently oxidize ethanol to acetaldehyde in an intact cell system. The oxidation reaction is catalyzed by alcohol oxidase (AOX), a key enzyme in the methanol metabolic pathway that is typic

## Abstract The yeast __Pachysolen tannophilus__ was found to be capable of converting Dβxylose to ethanol. Batch cultures initially containing 50 g/L Dβxylose 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 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
Substrates that contain hexose as well as pentose sugars can form an interesting substrate for the production of ethanol. Pichia stipitis and a respiratorydeficient mutant of Saccharomyces diastaticus were used to convert such a substrate into ethanol under continuous culture conditions. With a suga
