Abstract
A process for the bacterial oxidation of dulcitol to d-tagatose has been developed. The strain Arthrobacter globiformis ST48 used in this fermentation was isolated from soil. The yield of d-tagatose accumulated in the medium from dulcitol was as high as 85%. About 14 g of d-tagatose crystals was isolated from 1 liter of 2% dulcitol medium.
