Abstract:A plethora of studies have focused on improvements of xylitol production. The challenges of establishing a biotechnological route for the industrial production of this sugar have been explored using different microorganisms and renewable feedstock. Nevertheless, sugarcane biomass has been neglected as the pentose source for xylitol production using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Therefore, here we investigate the use of an industrial S. cerevisiae strain for xylitol production in batch fermentation of non-detoxifie… Show more
