<P><B>ABSTRACT</B><P> Anaerobic glucose oxidation was coupled to xylose reduction in a nonfermentative <I>Escherichia coli</I> strain expressing NADPH-dependent xylose reductase. Xylitol production serves as the primary means of NAD(P) <SUP>+</SUP> regeneration, as glucose is converted primarily to acetate and CO 2 . The membrane-bound transhydrogenase PntAB is required to achieve the maximum theoretical yield of four moles of xylitol per mole of glucose consumed. </P></P>
