Abstract

A green alga, Chlorella, was found to be capable of utilizing xylose or other pentose sugars (xylitol, arabinose) for enhanced growth rates when grown in the light, but not when grown heterotrophically in the dark. With selection for growth in xylose-containing medium, it was possible to improve dramatically the ability of selected Chlorella strains to grow on xylose mixotrophically. Growth on arabinose or xylitol was not changed in the xylose-selected strains.
