Abstract
Speakers were asked to provide quantitative data on the performance of different xylose- (or, in one instance, arabinose-) fermenting strains in laboratory media and, where possible, in “industrial” media prepared by hydrolysis of native lignocellulosic substrates. The data provided are presented in Table 1, which gives an indication of the performance of the various strains but should not be taken as a rigorous comparison. In particular, there is considerable variation in the extent of nutritional supplementation of the various media and the degree of detoxification of the hydrolysates. References provided by some of the speakers are also given (1–6).
