In order to produce xylitol from hemicellulose hydrolysate which is widely used as a substrate, the development of strain such as catabolite derepressed mutant is required. After treatment of Candida sp. with EMS, GM-17 and PM-34 as catabolite derepressed mutant were isolated from Candida guilliermondii and Candida parapsilosis, respectively. Mutant GM-17 and PM-34 simultaneously assimilated xylose and glucose during the fermentation. The specific xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase activities of mutant strains were also higher than those of wild strains in glucose medium and mixed medium of glucose and xylose. The xylitol productivity and yield of mutant GM-17 and PM-34 were improved as compared to the wild types in the mixed medium. The xylitol productivity and yield of mutant GM-17 were 0.09 g/L·hr and 0.56 g-xylitol/g-xylose, and those of mutant PM-34 were 0.21 g/L·hr and 0.52 g-xylitol/g-xylose in the mixed medium, respectively.

Medium optimization for xylitol production from xylose by Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019 mutant was performed. Effect of various nitrogen sources on xylitol production was investigatied. Of inorganic nitrogenous compounds, ammonium sulfate was effective for xylitol production and yeast extract was the most suitable orangic nitrogen nutrient for enhancement of xylitol production. Effect of inorganic salts such as KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ and MgSO$_{4}$-7H$_{2}$0 on xylitol production was also studied. Optimal medium was selected as xylose of 50 g/l, yeast extract of 5 g/l, (NH4$_{4}$)$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ of 5 g/l, KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ of 5 g/l, MgSO$_{4}$-7H$_{2}$O of 0.2 g/l. In a fermentor by using the optimal medium, a final xylitol concentration of 37 g/l could be obtained from 50 g/l of xylose with a xylitol yield of 74% and a xylitol productivity of 0.58 g/1-hr. At 300 g/l xylose, fermentation was also carried out and then a final xylitol concentration of 242 g/l was obtained at 272 hours. It was corresponding to xylitol yield of 80.7% and xylitol productivity of 0.58 g/1-hr.

Effect of glucose addition to xylose medium on xylitol production was investigated by using Candida parapsilosis ATCC 21019 mutant. With increasing the ratio of glucose to xylose in total amount of 50 g/l as glucose and/or xylose, xylitol production was decreased but ethanol and glycerol production were increased. Ethanol and glycerol concentration were maxmum in 10 g/l of xylose and 40 g/l of glucose medium as 21.5 g/l and 3.6 g/l, respecti- vely. No xylitol was formed in glucose medium without xylose because xylitol could be not produced from glucose. With increasing the ratio of glucose to xylose, the activity of xylose reductase which converted xylose to xylitol were decreased. The activities of xylitol dehydrogeiiase which converted xylitol to xylulose and then cell materials were found to be constant regardless of the ratio of glucose to xylose. This results indicated that glucose addition to xylose medium on cell growth was not affected. In order to prevent the inhibitory effect of glucose on xylitol production, glucose in a fermentor was fed with low concentration and then ethanol and glycerol was critically decreased and the xylitol yield from xylose of the culture with glucose feeding was recovered the almost same as that with only 50 g/l of xylose. However, the xylitol yield from total sugars (xylose and glucose) was decreased and glucose was not contributed to xylitol production. Therefore, the fermentation at high concentration of xylose without glucose was carried out. A final xylitol concentration of 242 g/l which corresponding 80.7% of xylitol yield was obtained from 300 g/l of xylose for 273 hours.

Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019 돌연변이주를 이용하여 xylitol 생산에 영향을 주는 배양 조건인 pH와 온도 그리고 교반속도 및 산소전달속도등의 환경인자가 Xylitol의 생성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 발효조에서 pH가 증가 할수록 균체농도와 기질소비속도가 증가하여 발효시간이 단축되었다. 그러나, Xylitol생산은 pH 4.5와 5.5에서 큰 차이 없이 50g/l의 xylose로 부터 약 34g/l로 최대농도를 보여주었다. 온도가 증가 할수록 최대 비증식속도가 증가하였지만 최종 균체농도는 감소하였고, xylitol 생산성은 $30^{\circ}C$에서 최대값을 보여주었다. 산소전달속도의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 발효조의 교반속도를 변화시키면서 배양한 결과 균체농도는 산소 전달속도가 높을수록 증가하였지만, xylitol 생산은 크게 감소하였다. 교반속도를 150rpm(산소전달속도 $30\;hr^{-1}$에 해당)으로 배양할때 발효시간 62시간에서 50g/l의 xylose로 부터 xylitol 농도가 35.8g/l로 최대값을 나타내었다. Xylitol 생산성을 증가시키기 위하여 1차 발효가 끝난 발효조에서 균체를 회수하여 20g/l로 농축하여 최적조건인 pH 4.5, $30^{\circ}C$, 산소전달속도 $30\;hr^{-1}$에서 재배양을 하였을 때 50g/l의 xylose가 배양시간 약 18시간만에 모두 이용되었고 전환수율 80%에 해당하는 40g/l의 Xylitol이 생성되었다. 이때 Xylitol의 생산성은 2.22g/l-hr으로 일반 발효때 얻은 $0.5{\sim}g/l-hr$ 보다 약 $3{\sim}4$배 증가되었다.
