Screening of filamentous fungi for production of xylitol from D-xylose Triagem de fungos filamentosos para produção de xilitol a partir de D-xilose

Eleven filamentous fungi were screened for xylitol production in batch cultures. Production was generally low under the growth conditions used in this study. Penicillium crustosum presented the highest production, 0.52 g L-1 from 11.50 g L-1 of D-xylose, representing consumption of 76% of the origin...
