Adaptation of yeast torulopsis candida to D-arabinose, D-lyxose and L-oxylose is shown to be due to the appearance of a new enzyme which catalyzes the reduction of these pentoses to D-arabitol and xylitol, respectively. The appearance of the enzyme is not coupled with the altered state of polyol : NADP-oxidoreductase (1.1.1.21) catalyzing the reduction of D-xylose and other aldoses with their second carbon atom having a stereoconformation of D-glyceraldehyde. Some proposals are made on improvements of the nomenclature of the enzymes catalyzing the reduction of the two groups of pentoses.
已表明酵母假丝酵母对D-阿拉伯糖、D-来苏糖和L-木糖的适应性是由于一种新酶的出现，该酶分别催化这些戊糖还原为D-阿拉伯糖醇和木糖醇。该酶的出现与多元醇:NADP-氧化还原酶(1.1.1.21)的改变状态无关，多元醇:NADP-氧化还原酶催化D-木糖和其他醛糖的还原，其第二个碳原子具有D-甘油醛的立体构象。对催化两组戊糖还原的酶的命名改进提出了一些建议。
