pH-dependent polyol production in Moniliella tomentosa.
Production of polyols by the yeastlike fungus Moniliella tomentosa could be increased by growing the organism at constant low pH. Up to 54% increase in yield was obtained. Growth at low pH also results in the production of D-arabitol which is not found in normal media.
