FROM FUEL ETHANOL BYPRODUcrS BY AUREOBASIDIUMSP. STRAIN NRRL Y·12,974

SUMMARY Byproducts of fuel ethanol production from wet-milled com, were tested as substrates for growth and pullulan production by Aureobasidiumsp. strain NRRL Y.12,974. The strain grew well on corn fiber and com condensed distiller's solubles (CCDS), and fermented CCDS to pullulan. CCDS compared favorably with starch as a substrate for pullulan production.
