Hydrolysis of cellulosic materials generates a mixture of hexoses (mannose, glucose, and galactose) and pentoses (xylose and arabinose). The research was carried out to study the pattern of carbon utilization by P. stipitis CBS5776 for ethanol production from cellulose hydrolyzates. The yeast utilized glucose and mannose first, and then galactose and xylose as carbon sources. Arabinose was not used at all, P. stipitis produced ethanol with a yield coefficient 0.33 g ethanol/g sugar in a mixture of sugars. The pattern for carbon utilization was also investigated in a continuous culture.
