Production of extracellular polyols in Aureobasidium pullulans

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Aureobasidium pullulans produced extracellularly considerable amounts of polyols in the media with sucrose, glucose, fructose and mannose as sole carbon source during the late exponential and stationary phase of growth. The maximum yield of polyol was about 23% in the 20%(w/v) sucrose medium, of which mannitol was the main polyol associated with minute quantities of glycerol. Stress solutes such as NaCl and KCl did not promote polyol production.
