Abstract
|
|
|
Diverse types of nuruks (traditional Korean fermentation initiators) were examined in order to isolate thermotolerant yeast strains capable of utilizing xylose as a carbon source. Among twenty yeast strains that grew at 46¡É, MBY/L1597 showed a notably higher specific growth rate than other strains. This strain was identified as Millerozyma farinosa. While the control strain M. farinosa KCTC27412 (= CBS7064) did not show xylose reductase (XR) activity and apparent growth at 46¡É, M. farinosa MBY/L1597 exhibited XR activity of 4.98 ¡¾ 0.49 U/mg protein when NADPH was used as a cofactor. M. farinosa MBY/L1597 cultured at 46¡É produced (9.87 ¡¾ 1.00 g/l) xylitol from 20 g/l xylose, corresponding to approximately 50% yield. M. farinosa MBY/L1597 was deposited at the Korean Collection for Type Cultures as KCTC27797.
