D-Arabitol, a rare sugar alcohol, is a substrate used to identify, differentiate and characterize enzyme such as the gluconobacter oxydans dehydrogenase(s), Gox2181, hyperthermophilic D-arabitol dehydrogenase from Thermotoga maritime and NAD-dependent D-arabitoldehydrogenase from acetic acid bacterium, Acetobacter suboxydans.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Used to produce xylitol via biotransformation.

Gluconobacter oxydans enable to oxidize sugars and polyols incompletely to corresponding materials with potential industrial applications, containing around 75 putative dehydrogenases. One of these putative dehydrogenases, Gox2181, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and its X-ray crystal

The first hyperthermophilic D-arabitol dehydrogenase from Thermotoga maritima was heterologously purified from Escherichia coli. The protein was purified with and without a Strep-tag. The enzyme exclusively catalyzed the NAD(H)-dependent oxidoreduction of D-arabitol, D-xylitol, D-ribulose, or D-xylulose. A twofold increase of

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) involving the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) include the two relatively rare conditions, transketolase deficiency and transaldolase deficiency, both of which can be difficult to diagnosis given their non-specific clinical presentations. Current biochemical testing approaches
An increasing number of women becomes pregnant while suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD). As a result of decreased renal function, uremic solutes circulate at high levels in the maternal circulation. This study aimed to acquire more knowledge about the

L-arabitol is used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. It can be secreted by genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying the genes responsible for pentose metabolism in yeast cells. The process of the biotransformation of L-arabinose to arabitol is highly dependent
