The ability to grow in liquid media with D-xylose, xylan from decidous trees, and hemicelluloses from conifers was tested in 95 strains of 35 genera of yeasts and yeast-like organisms. Of 54 strains thriving on xylose, only 13 (genera Aureobasidium, Cryptococcus and Trichosporon) utilized xylan and hemicelluloses as growth substrates. The árowth media of these strains were found to contain xylan-degrading enzymes splitting the substrate to xylose and a mixture of xylose oligosaccharides. The ability of these yeasts to utilize the wood components (hitherto unknown in the genus Crytococcus) makes them potential producers of microbial proteins from industrial wood wastes containing xylose oligosaccharides, xylan, and hemicelluloses as the major saccharide components without previous saccharification.
在35个属的95株酵母和类酵母微生物中测试了利用D-木糖、阔叶树木聚糖以及针叶树半纤维素在液体培养基中生长的能力。在54株能在木糖上生长的菌株中，只有13株（金担子菌属、隐球菌属和丝孢酵母属）能利用木聚糖和半纤维素作为生长底物。发现这些菌株的生长培养基中含有能将底物分解为木糖和木糖寡糖混合物的木聚糖降解酶。这些酵母利用木材成分的能力（隐球菌属此前未知）使它们有可能成为从含有木糖寡糖、木聚糖和半纤维素作为主要糖类成分且无需预先糖化的工业木材废料中生产微生物蛋白的潜在生产者。
