A fed‐batch culture system was used to study xylitol production by Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 in a synthetic and a sugar cane bagasse hydrolysate medium. The values achieved for xylitol yield and volumetric productivity were, respectively, 0 · 84 g g −1 and 0 · 64 g l −1 h −1 using the synthetic medium and 0 · 78 g g −1 and 0 · 62 g l −1 h −1 using the hydrolysate medium.
