The Melle-Boinot process (cell-recycle batch fermentation) was applied to the fermentation of xylose by two strains of the yeast Pachysolen tannophilus for periods of 31 days. This resulted in a significant increase in the ethanol yield and productivity from xylose by P. tannophilus NCYC 614 but not...
