| Abstract | Efficient conversion of hexose and pentose (glucose and xylose) by a single strain is a very important factor for the production of industrially important metabolites using lignocellulose as the substrate. The kinetics of growth and polyol production by Debaryomyces nepalensis NCYC 3413 was studied under single and mixed substrate conditions. In the presence of glucose, the strain produced ethanol (35.8 ± 2.3 g/l), glycerol (9.0 ± 0.2 g/l), and arabitol (6.3 ± 0.2 g/l). In the presence of xylose, the strain produced xylitol (38 ± 1.8 g/l) and glycerol (18 ± 1.0 g/l) as major metabolites. Diauxic growth was observed when the strain was grown with different combinations of glucose/xylose, and glucose was the preferred substrate. The presence of glucose enhanced the conversion of xylose to xylitol. By feeding a mixture of glucose at 100 g/l and xylose at 100 g/l, it was found that the strain produced a maximum of 72 ± 3 g/l of xylitol. A study of important enzymes involved in the synthesis of xylitol (xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH)), glycerol (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH)) and ethanol (alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)) in cells grown in the presence of glucose and xylose revealed high specific activity of G3PDH and ADH in cells grown in the presence of glucose, whereas high specific activity of XR, XDH, and G3PDH was observed in cells grown in the presence of xylose. To our knowledge, this is the first study to elaborate the glucose and xylose metabolic pathway in this yeast strain. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
