Abstract

or sulfuric acid, pulverization of rice husk became easy and its volume became one-fourth of the original. Xylose was obtained as crystal at the level of 4% yield from the extract of rice husk prepared through acid treatment after boilng in alkaline solution. The growth of Candida utilis in the extract of rice husk containing urea as a nitrogen source was slow and the ratio of sugar uptake was only 20%. By the addition of sweet potato juice and the culture of the yeast adapted previously to the medium, the ratios of sugar uptake and the yeast cells to the consumed sugar were elevated to the level of 90% and 140% respectively.
