D-Arabitol → HCID 178418489, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

D-arabitol was dissolved in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) to a concentration of 5% (w/v). The washed microbial cells as obtained above was added thereto to about 10% (w/v) in terms of the wet weight. A 10-ml portion of the thus-obtained reaction mixture was added to a test tube and allowed to react at 30° C. with shaking. After 24 hours, the microbial cells were removed by centrifugation and xylitol thus produced was determined by HPLC. The results are shown in Table 6. As shown in Table 6, xylitol was produced and accumulated from D-arabitol.
