Procedure

Th aerobic fermenting bacteria include: Gluconobacter oxydans (subsp. suboxydans). The amount of suboxydans used is generally related to the amount of the D-sorbitol or D-mannitol fed. This latter amount ranges from about 20 g to about 80 g./hr./g. of catalyst. D-sorbitol yields L-sorbose and D-mannitol yields D-fructose.
