EC 1.1.3.41     
Accepted name: alditol oxidase
Reaction: an alditol + O2 = an aldose + H2O2
Other name(s): xylitol oxidase; xylitol:oxygen oxidoreductase; AldO
Systematic name: alditol:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme from Streptomyces sp. IKD472 and from Streptomyces coelicolor is a monomeric oxidase containing one molecule of FAD per molecule of protein [1,2]. While xylitol (five carbons) and sorbitol (6 carbons) are the preferred substrates, other alditols, including L-threitol (four carbons), D-arabinitol (five carbons), D-galactitol (six carbons) and D-mannitol (six carbons) can also act as substrates, but more slowly [1,2]. Belongs in the vanillyl-alcohol-oxidase family of enzymes [2].
