Enhanced d-arabitol production by Zygosaccharomyces rouxii JM-C46: isolation of strains and process of repeated-batch fermentation

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology

Abstract

A new strain producing high yield of d-arabitol was isolated from hyperosmotic environments and the ITS rDNA sequencing analysis revealed it as Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. In addition, using a pH control and repeated-batch fermentation strategy in a 5-L reactor, the maximum yield and the highest volumetric productivity of d-arabitol were 93.48 ± 2.79 g/L and 1.143 g/L h, respectively. Volumetric productivity was successfully improved from 0.86 to 1.143 g/L h, which was increased by 32.9 % after 72 h of fermentation. Z. rouxii JM-C46 has potential to be used for d-arabitol and xylitol production from glucose via d-arabitol route.
