Abstract

Erythritol production by an osmophilic mutant of Candida magnoliae was performed in fermentations of up 50 l to develop an optimized commercial process. By simultaneous feeding glucose and yeast extract, erythritol productivity of 1.2 g l−1 h−1 was reached giving 200 g erythritol l−1 with a yield of 0.43 g g−1.
