Effect of oxygen uptake rate on ethanol production by a xylose-fermenting yeast mutant,Candida sp. XF217

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The fermentation of D-xylose by theCandida sp. mutant XF217 was studied at different oxygen uptake rates by controlling dissolved oxygen tension or agitation rate. The ethanol yield increases as the oxygen uptake rate decreases. The ethanol production rate is maximized at an oxygen uptake rate of 9–12 millimole/L/hour. Xylitol and cell mass production and cell morphology are also affected by oxygen level.
