Abstract
Erythritol production by an osmophilic mutant of Candida magnoliae was performed in fermentations of up 50 l to develop an optimized commercial process. By simultaneous feeding glucose and yeast extract, erythritol productivity of 1.2 g l(-1) h(-1) was reached giving 200 g erythritol l(-1) with a yield of 0.43 g g(-1).
