A microbiological method is described for the production of xylitol, which is used as a sugar substitute for diabetics. A sequential fermentation process yielded 9.0 g of xylitol from 77.5 g of glucose via D-arabitol and D-xylulose. Candida guilliermondii var. soya (ATCC 20216) consumed 5.1 g of D-xylulose and produced 2.8 g of xylitol per 100 ml. Pentitol production from D-xylulose by yeasts was divided into three types: I, yeast-produced xylitol; II, yeast-produced D-arabitol; and III, yeast-produced xylitol and D-arabitol. D-Xylulose, but not glucose, was dissimilated to xylitol by yeasts under aerobic conditions.
描述了一种生产木糖醇的微生物方法,木糖醇用作糖尿病患者的糖替代品。一个连续发酵过程通过D-阿拉伯糖醇和D-木酮糖从77.5克葡萄糖中产生了9.0克木糖醇。季也蒙假丝酵母大豆变种(ATCC 20216)每100毫升消耗5.1克D-木酮糖并产生2.8克木糖醇。酵母从D-木酮糖生产戊糖醇分为三种类型:I,酵母产生木糖醇;II,酵母产生D-阿拉伯糖醇;III,酵母产生木糖醇和D-阿拉伯糖醇。在有氧条件下,酵母将D-木酮糖而非葡萄糖异化生成木糖醇。
