DE   Alditol oxidase.
AN   Xylitol oxidase.
CA   An alditol + O(2) = an aldose + H(2)O(2).
CF   FAD.
CC   -!- While xylitol (five carbons) and sorbitol (6 carbons) are the
CC       preferred substrates, other alditols, including L-threitol (four
CC       carbons), D-arabinitol (five carbons), D-galactitol (six carbons) and
CC       D-mannitol (six carbons) can also act as substrates, but more slowly.
