Summary

Pentitol: NADP and pentitol: NAD oxidoreductase were detected in cell-free extracts of mycelia and sclerotia ofSclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) D By. grown on synthetic liquid medium containingd-xtlose,l-arabinose ord-ribose. Both enzymes were similar to those reported from other fungi. The enzymes were not detected when the fungus was grown on a medium containingd-glucose.
