[Enzymatic differences in mycobacteria. Ribitol dehydrogenase].
Contrary to the tubercle Bacilli (H37Ra, BCG), Mycobacterium phlei has a ribitol-NAD dehydrogenase (that also oxidizes, although to a lesser extent, erythritol and glycerol). This difference is observed with the Bacteria grown on Sauton's medium, as well as after their adaptation to ribitol. The extracts of all these Mycobacteria reduce, NADP in the presence of glycerol, ribitol or erythritol, though very slowly.
