Microbial Production of Optically Pure l-Iditol by Yeast Strains.
Several yeast strains belonging to genus Candida were found to selectively hydrogenate l-sorbose with enantiomeric specificity, yielding optically pure l-iditol in the culture broth. The most active strain, isolated from a commercial lemon, was identified as Candida intermedia, which produced 50 g of l-iditol per liter from 150 g of l-sorbose per liter during a 5-day fermentation period (35% yi...
متن کاملHomofermentative production of optically pure L-lactic acid from xylose by genetically engineered Escherichia coli B
BACKGROUND Polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer, has the potential to replace (at least partially) traditional petroleum-based plastics, minimizing "white pollution". However, cost-effective production of optically pure L-lactic acid is needed to achieve the full potential of PLA. Currently, starch-based glucose is used for L-lactic acid fermentation by lactic acid bacteria. Due to it...
متن کاملSingle Cell Oil Production from Petroleum Sludge by Native Yeast Strains
In this research, 11 yeast strains with ability to grow on petroleum sludge were isolated from effluent of a petroleum refinery. Based on growth on mineral media contaminated petroleum sludge, two isolates were selected as the super strains. Meanwhile, results based on biochemical and morphological experiments on the strains indicated that the two selected isolates belonged to Candida and Proto...
متن کاملRepeated open fermentative production of optically pure L-lactic acid using a thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain.
A thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain 2-6 was used in completely open repeated batch fermentation for producing optically pure L-lactic acid. Up to 107 g l(-1) L-lactic acid of optical purity 99.8% was obtained with NaOH as pH regulator. Unexpectedly, accumulated cells did not necessarily lead to increased L-lactic acid production. Kinetic and viable cells analyses revealed that L-lactic acid prod...
متن کاملAbility of xilitol production by new yeast strains
Xylitol is a natural sweetener used commercially as a substitute for sucrose, mainly by its low-calorie and anticariogenic properties. Moreover, its metabolism is independent of insulin, which can be used by people with diabetes and obesity problems. Currently, xylitol is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of D-xylose, a costly process because it requires highly purified xylose syrup. As an al...
