Popis: The xylitol production was performed with acidophilic Meyerozyma caribbica. The particle size of 0.02 ± 0.01 to 0.1 ± 0.05 mm was rich in glucose (12.0 ± 0.5 g/L), whereas 0.5 ± 0.25 to 2.0 ± 0.5 mm had a high content of xylose (8.0 ± 0.5 g/L). The xylitol production in the synthetic, non-detoxified and detoxified hydrolysate media was studied (50 ± 0.5 g/L) using 10% v/v non - induced cells of M. caribbica for 120 h. At the end of fermentation with the specific growth rate of 0.056 ± 0.01 (μ), xylitol yields of 45.00 ± 1.00%, 10.00 ± 1.00% and 54.00 ± 1.00% were obtained. The detoxification of the hydrolysate prepared using an identified corncob particle size of 0.5 ± 0.25 to 2.0 ± 0.5 mm could be used as the prospective pretreatment process for ecofriendly and industrial scale production of xylitol with M. caribbica.
