摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for forming xylitol from a carbon source, which has excellent energy efficiency and a simple production process.;SOLUTION: The method for producing xylitol comprises forming xylitol from a carbon source by using a fungus of the order Aphyllophorales. The fungus of the order Aphyllophorales may contain a fungus of species Lentinellus. The carbon source may contain xylose. In the Lentinellus ursinus, the fermentation of the carbon source may be carried out under an aerobic condition.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
