The transketolase affected Bacillus mutant couldn't grow on the media, which used gluconic acid as sole carbon source, while it showed a potential to convert gluconic acid into Dribose.
枯草芽孢杆菌转酮酶缺陷突变株不能以D-葡萄糖酸为唯一碳源生长，但其作为D-核糖的前体则是有效的。

The mutant had entirely lost transketolase activity and could accumulate a large amount of D? ribose in the culture medium. The amount of D?
与亲株相比，该菌株完全丧失了转酮醇酶活性，能够在培养基中大量积累D 核糖。

The effects of chloride and boric acid on the epimerization of D-arabinose to D-ribose in aqueous solution using ammonium paramolybdate as catalyst was studied.
