Description and Uses
D-arabinitol is a characteristic metabolic product of candida species. While candida ssp. produces exclusively D-arabinitol, L-arabinitol is developed by the body’s own metabolism. D-arabinitol serum levels increase if candida yeasts proliferate within the organism and cause invasive Candidiasis. Both D-arabinitol and L-arabinitol are present in normal urine, and can easily be measured by gas chromatography of urine samples collected on filter paper.
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.
