title: Adaptation and reutilization of Candida guilliermondii cells for xylitol production in bagasse hydrolysate.
abstract: The xylitol productivity increased by about 15% with the use of cells of Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 previously recycled through four consecutive batch cultures and adapted to the sugar cane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolysate. Furthermore, the more concentrated the hydrolysate, the more necessary was the adaptation of the cells, owing to the presence of toxic substances at high concentration which inhibited the xylose-xylitol conversion by the yeast.
