Abstract
Type strains of 200 species of yeasts able to ferment glucose and grow on xylose were screened for fermentation of
d
-xylose. In most of the strains tested, ethanol production was negligible. Nineteen were found to produce between 0.1 and 1.0 g of ethanol per liter. Strains of the following species produce more than 1 g of ethanol per liter in the fermentation test with 2% xylose:
Brettanomyces naardenensis, Candida shehatae, Candida tenuis, Pachysolen tannophilus, Pichia segobiensis
, and
Pichia stipitis.
Subsequent screening of these yeasts for their capacity to ferment
d
-cellobiose revealed that only
Candida tenuis
CBS 4435 was a good fermenter of both xylose and cellobiose under the test conditions used.
