1.1.1.424	physiological function	D-xylose is oxidized exclusively to the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate alpha-ketoglutarate, involving D-xylose dehydrogenase (HVO_B0028), a xylonate dehydratase (HVO_B0038A), 2-keto-3-deoxyxylonate dehydratase (HVO_B0027), and alpha-ketoglutarate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (HVO_B0039). An HVO_B0028 gene deletion mutant cannot grow on xylose but grows unaffected on glucose as the wild-type	-, 757140	
1.1.1.424	physiological function	Haloferax volcanii degrades the pentoses D-xylose and L-arabinose via an oxidative pathway to 2-oxoglutarate as an intermediate. The initial dehydrogenases of the pathway, D-xylose dehydrogenase (XDH) and L-arabinose dehydrogenase (L-AraDH) catalyze the NADP+ dependent D-xylose and L-arabinose oxidation	-, 750559
