THE PRODUCTION OF FRUCTOSE AS A RESIDUE OF SUCROSE FERMENTATION BY TRICHOLOMA NUDUM

Abstract
Tricholoma nudum, when grown on media containing sucrose, hydrolyzes this sugar and utilizes the glucose preferentially. Eighty to 85% of the fructose remains in the medium at the completion of glucose utilization. If the fermentation is stopped at this point the mycelium can be separated from the broth and the fructose recovered in crystalline form or as a syrup.
