Abstract
The production of xylitol by microorganisms cultured in media made fr om commercial sugars (xylose with or without other sugars as co-substr ates) is reviewed. The microbial strains used for this purpose and the influence of the most important operational variables (including age of inoculum, initial concentrations of cells and substrate, pH, temper ature, composition of culture media, dissolved oxygen and product conc entration) are considered. The existing information on xylitol product ion by recombinant microorganisms is summarized. (C) 1998 Elsevier Sci ence Ltd. All rights reserved.
