During the study of aerobic dissimilation of galactose by yeasts, polyhydric products were isolated in crystalline form from the fermented broths and identified. Yeast species may be divided into two groups on basis of sugar alcohol production: type I yeasts form the same end products from galactose as from glucose; type II yeasts produce dulcitol from galactose with or without other sugar alcohols but they produce no dulcitol from glucose. Isolation of dulcitol from microorganism has not been previously described.
在研究酵母对半乳糖的需氧异化作用过程中,从发酵液中分离出了结晶形式的多元醇产物并进行了鉴定。根据糖醇的产生情况,酵母种类可分为两组:I型酵母从半乳糖产生的终产物与从葡萄糖产生的相同;II型酵母从半乳糖产生卫矛醇,可能伴有其他糖醇,但从葡萄糖中不产生卫矛醇。此前尚未有从微生物中分离出卫矛醇的报道。
