As abundant carbohydrates in renewable feedstocks, such as pectin-rich and lignocellulosic hydrolysates, the pentoses arabinose and xylose are regarded as important substrates for production of biofuels and chemicals by engineered microbial hosts.

Innovative of Second Generation Ethanol Production from Biomass Crops by Pichia Stipitis
The production of ethanol from lignocellulosic material, as reported by Kumar (2009), consists of mainly five different steps, namely pretreatment, (enzymatic) hydrolysis, fermentation, product separation and post-treatment of the liquid fraction.

Conversion of pentoses by yeasts [PDF]
AbstractThe utilization and conversion of D‐xylose, D‐xylulose, L‐arabinose, and xylitol by yeast strains have been investigated with the following results: (1) The majority of yeasts tested utilize D‐xylose and produce polyols, ethanol, and organic acids. The type and amount of products formed varies with the yeast strains used.

Pentose metabolism in Mycobacterium smegmatis: specificity of induction of pentose isomerases [PDF]
The induction of D-xylose, D-ribose, L-arabinose, and D-lyxose isomerases by various sugars was studied to determine the configuration necessary for induction. D-Xylose isomerase was only induced by D-xylose, whereas D-ribose isomerase was induced by D-ribose, L-rhamnose, and L-lyxose.

Influence of sugars on the reddening of triturated florets of dyer's saffron flowers
Pentoses, hexoses and disaccharides were administered to the triturated florets of dyer's saffon (Carthamus tinctorius) and their effects on enzyme-catalyzed floret reddening examined spectrophotometically.
