Direct fermentation of D-xylose to ethanol by a xylose-fermentating yeast mutant, Candida sp XF 217

SummaryA mutant strain of Candida sp. XF 217, was found to produce ethanol from D-xylose aerobically as well 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 D-glucose, D-fructose, sucrose or maltose were used as substrates. The D-xylose fermenting yeast strain is a potential organism to use for ethanol production from renewable biomass-derived hexoses and pentoses.
