Abstract
A non-woven fabric was successfully applied for immobilization of Cand ida tropicalis to produce xylitol from D-xylose. Xylitol productivity was enhanced by feeding of D-glucose (50 g/l . d); 87 g xylitol/l was produced after 64 h cultivation. Non-woven fabric could be used five t imes for fed-batch cultivation.
