By means of the Warburg technique, whether and to what extent microorganisms of the human plaque can metabolize xylitol under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions was studied, and the results were compared with those for saccharose. Under the chosen test conditions, this sugar alcohol was metabolized, if at all, in negligibly small traces only, during eight hours.
采用瓦氏呼吸法，研究了人类牙菌斑中的微生物在有氧和无氧条件下是否以及在何种程度上能够代谢木糖醇，并将结果与蔗糖的代谢结果进行了比较。在所选择的测试条件下，这种糖醇即使被代谢，在八小时内也只是极少量的，几乎可以忽略不计。
