Abstract:A xylitol-producer yeast isolated from corn silage and designated as ASM III was selected based on its outstanding biotechnological potential. When cultivated in batch culture mode and keeping the dissolved oxygen at 40% saturation, xylitol production was as high as 130 g l(-1) with a yield of 0.93 g xylitol g(-1) xylose consumed. A preliminary identification of the yeast was performed according to conventional fermentation and assimilation physiological tests. These studies were complemented by using molecular approaches based on PCR amplification, restriction-fragment length polymorphism analysis and sequencing of the rDNA segments: intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) 1-5.8S rDNA-ITS 2, and D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA gene. Results from both the conventional protocols and the molecular characterization, and proper comparisons with the reference strains Candida tropicalis ATCC 20311 and NRRL Y-1367, led to the identification of the isolate as a new strain of C. tropicalis.
