To develop a new enzymatic xylose-to-xylitol conversion, deeper knowledge on the regulation of xylose reductase (XR) is needed. To this purpose, a new strain ofDebaryomyces hansenii(UFV-170), which proved a promising xylitol producer, was cultivated in semi-synthetic media containing different carbon sources, specifically three aldo-hexoses (d-glucose,d-galactose andd-mannose), a keto-hexose (d-fructose), a keto-pentose (d-xylose), three aldo-pentoses (d-arabinose,l-arabinose andd-ribose), three disaccharides (maltose, lactose and sucrose) and a pentitol (xylitol). The best substrate was lactose on which cell concentration reached about 20 g l−1dry weight (DW), while the highest specific growth rates (0.58–0.61 h−1) were detected on lactose,d-mannose,d-glucose andd-galactose. The highest specific activity of XR (0.24 U mg−1) was obtained in raw extracts of cells grown ond-xylose and harvested in the stationary growth phase. When grown on cotton husk hemicellulose hydrolyzates, cells exhibited XR activities five to seven times higher than on semi-synthetic media.
