Abstract
The production of xylitol by the yeast Candida guilliermondii was investiga ted in batch fermentations with aspenwood hemicellulose hydrolysate and com pared with results obtained in semi-defined media with a mixture of glucose and xylose. The hemicellulose hydrolysate had to be supplemented by yeast extract and the maximum xylitol yield (0.8 g g(-1)) and productivity (0.6 g l(-1) h(-1)) were reached by controlling oxygen input.
