- Abstract
Xylitol, a five carbon sugar alcohol, has numerous applications in the fields of food and pharmaceuticals. Gluconobacter oxydans contains two enzymes which are membrane-bound D-arabitol dehydrogenase and soluble xylitol dehydrogenase enabling the production of xylitol from D-arabitol. This review provides comprehensive insights regarding properties of key enzymes and advances of xylitol production of G. oxydans by microbial methods.
