  • A yeast strain, BT001, which can directly ferment D-xylose to ethanol was isolated from forest soils, and then identified as Candida sp. Cultural conditions for the optimum ethanol production, along with the effects of aeration on cell growth and ethanol production were investigated. Aeration stimulated the cell growth and the volumetric rate of ethanol production, but decreased the ethanol yield. Optimum temperature and initial pH for the ethanol production were $33{\circ}^C$ and 6.0, respectively. In a shake flask culture, this strain produced 52.3 g ethanol per liter from 12%(w/v) D-xylose after incubation for 96 hours. Ethanol yield was 0.436 g per g D-xylose consumed. This corresponds to 85.8% of theoretical yield. Also, this yeast strain produced ethanol from D-galactose, D-glucose and D-mannose, but not from L-arabinose and L-rhamnose. Among these sugars, D-glucose was the fastest in being converted to ethanol sugars.

  • D-xylose의 통성 발효성 효모, Candida sp. BT001로부터 D-xylose를 xylitol로의 전환을 촉매하는 효소, xylose reductase(alditol: $MADP^+$ 1-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.21)를 salt fractionation, ion exchange, gel filtration과 affinity chromatography를 거쳐 정제하여 그 성질을 조사하였다. 정제된 xylose reductase는 보효소 NADPH 및 NADH에 모두 특이성을 나타내었으며, 또한 각각의 보효소에 대해 활성을 지니는 효소는 따로 분리되지 않았다. Specific activity는 NADPH에 대해 11.78 U/mg, MADH에 대해 6.01 U/mg이었으며, NADH/NADPH의 활성비는 0.51이었다. 정제된 xylose reductase의 분자량은 SDS-PAGE상에서 31,000, gel filtration상에서 61,000으로 2개의 subunit로 구성된 효소로 추정하였다. 정제된 xylose reductase의 D-xylose와 NADPH 및 NADH에 대한 Km값은 각각 $94.2{\times}10^{-3}M,\;0.011{\times}10^{-3}M$$0.032{\times}10^{-3}M$ 이었다. Aldose들에 대한 xylose reductase의 활성은 L-arabinose, D-xylose순으로 높았다. 최적 효소 반응의 pH 및 반응 온도는 각각 6.2와 $45^{\circ}C$이었으며, 이 효소는 $30^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 안정하였다.
