Erythritol is a four-carbon sugar alcohol that has about 70 % of the sweetness of sucrose. Erythritol is mostly produced by fermentation from glucose or glycerol using osmophilic fungi. In this work different strains and species of Yarrowia genus were evaluated for their ability to produce erythritol from crude glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel industry. The performance of strains from Y. lipolytica and Y. div...
