Summary

Pachysolen tannophilus contains — in addition to an NADPH-linked xylose reductase — a separate NADH-linked one, in this respect differing from the yeast Pichia stipitis. Both enzyme proteins can conveniently be separated from each other by either ion exchange chromatography or chromatofocusing.
