Microbial Production of d-Ribose

  • Chapter
Biotechnology of Vitamins, Pigments and Growth Factors

Part of the book series: Elsevier Applied Biotechnology Series ((APBISE))

Abstract

d-Ribose and its derivative, 2-deoxy-d-ribose, are components of RNA and DNA, respectively. It is of interest that these pentoses are components of such important biopolymers in the hereditary material of organisms whereas other ubiquitous pentoses, l-arabinose and d-xylose, are usually present in the plant cell walls. Why the pentose components of nucleic acids are d-ribose and 2-deoxy-d-ribose is an unresolved problem; D-ribose and its derivatives have been also found widely in nature.
