Xylitol is a sugar alcohol with five carbons that can be used in the pharmaceutical and food
industries. It is industrially produced by chemical route; however, a more economical and …

This study assessed the efficiency of Scheffersomyces amazonensis UFMG-CM-Y493 T,
cultured in xylose-supplemented medium (YPX) and rice hull hydrolysate (RHH), to convert …

About 270 yeast isolates were screened for xylitol production using xylose as the sole
carbon source. The best isolate, Debaryomyces hansenii UFV-170, released 5.84 gL− 1 …

Aims: To discover novel naturally occurring xylitol producing yeast species with potential for
industrial applications. Methods and Results: Exactly 274 strains were cultivated on both …

This study aimed to screen the xylitol‐producing strains of Cyberlindnera xylosilytica and
Wickerhamomyces rabaulensis for the bioconversion of the hemicellulosic fraction of …

Production of xylitol from lignocellulosic biomass is of interest to modern biorefineries,
because this biomass should be processed into a spectrum of chemicals (bio-based …

A total of six known xylitol-producing yeast strains were screened for production of xylitol
from xylose. Candida sp. 11-2 proved to be the best producer. It was chosen to study its …

The effects of temperature and starting pH on xylose-to-xylitol bioconversion by the new
yeast isolate Debaryomyces hansenii UFV-170 were investigated. The optimum pH resulted …

Xylitol production was compared in fed batch fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae
strains overexpressing xylose reductase (XR) genes from Candida tropicalis, Pichia stipitis …

Xylitol is a pentahydroxy sugar alcohol coming from xylose with many applications in the
food and pharmaceutical industries as a low caloric sweetener suitable for diabetics and as …
