furfural is one of the typical inhibitors present in hemicellulose hydrolysate. Furfural is harmful to cell growth and biofuel production in microbes. Candida tropicalis obtains better furfural tolerance in xylose medium. The dehydrogenation of xylitol, which produces coenzyme NADH, promotes the recycle of NAD+ and facilitates the reduction of furfural. The rate of furfural degradation and half maximal inhibitory concentration for furfural of Candida tropicalis in xylose medium increases 1.68fold and 1.19fold, respectively
