Ribitol is a pentitol derived from the reduction of ribose. It can be biosynthesized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by enhancing the glucose-driven pentose phosphate pathway. This sugar alcohol is utilized in research on microbial metabolism, pathway engineering, and as a precursor in biochemical studies.
