D-xylonic acid producing operon

D-Xylose is a monosaccharide belonging to the aldopentose family. It was recently shown that the D-xylose dehydrogenase xylB from Caulobacter crescentus can convert D-xylose to D-xylonolactone. This can react spontaneously or through the catalysation of xylC to D-xylonic acid. In E. coli D-xylonic acid can be further metabolized to ethyleneglycol.
