D-Mannitol has not so far been known as a major product of sugar metabolism by yeasts. Three yeast strains, a newly isolated yeast from soy-sauce mash, Torulopsis versatilis, and T. anomala, were found to be good mannitol producers. Under optimal conditions, the isolate produced mannitol at good yield of 30% of the sugar consumed. Glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, maltose, glycerol, and xylitol were suitable substrates for mannitol formation. High concentrations of yeast extract, Casamino Acids, NaCl, and KCl in media affected significantly the mannitol yield, whereas high levels of inorganic phosphate did not show any detrimental effect.
到目前为止,D-甘露醇还不被认为是酵母糖代谢的主要产物。人们发现,三种酵母菌株,即一种新从酱油醪中分离出的酵母、多变球拟酵母和异常球拟酵母,是良好的甘露醇生产者。在最佳条件下,该分离菌株产生甘露醇的产量良好,占消耗糖的30%。葡萄糖、果糖、甘露糖、半乳糖、麦芽糖、甘油和木糖醇是甘露醇形成的合适底物。培养基中高浓度的酵母提取物、酪蛋白氨基酸、氯化钠和氯化钾对甘露醇产量有显著影响,而高浓度的无机磷酸盐未显示出任何有害影响。
