another enzyme activity can take over for growth on galactitol
when sdhA is deleted. One obvious candidate for this galactitol-in-
duced, sorbitol dehydrogenase activity is the galactitol dehydroge-

the reaction product of the reverse reaction using -sorbitol as sub-
strate to produce -fructose (Fig. 5B). From -sorbose, iditol was
produced (Fig. 5C). The HPLC method did not allow discrimination
between the - and -form of the sugars or sugar alcohols, but if
only the keto-group is reduced, the reaction products are -sorbitol
and -iditol (Fig. 5D). In the case of -sorbitol oxidation, the reac-
tion product can be -fructose or -sorbose and the HPLC analysis
clearly confirmed that it was -fructose. It was earlier suggested
that in A. nidulans galactitol is converted to -sorbose [10]. Here
we demonstrated that SdhA does not catalyse the conversion of
sorbitol to -sorbose.

A single amino acid change (Y318F) in the L-arabitol dehydrogenase (LadA)
from Aspergillus niger results in a significant increase in affinity for D-sorbitol.
