title: [Enzymes catalyzing the reduction of aldopentoses and the oxidation of pentitols in Mycobacteria].
abstract: M. phlei, grown on synthetic Sauton medium (with 6% glycerol as carbon source), had NADPH- and NADH-aldopentose reductase, as well as NAD-pentitol dehydrogenase activities; some of their properties are studied. These activities are not present in BCG grown on the same medium. All experiments of aldopentose-reductase induction in BCG on a D(+)xylose medium were negative.
