Pichia etchellsii (cbs2011) could respire d-ribose, but not use it for aerobic growth. Pichia fermentans (cbs187) neither respired nor grew on d-ribose, though it entered the cells of this yeast either by simple diffusion or, possibly, by the d-glucose carrier, this having a very low affinity for d-ribose. Pichia pinus (cbs5097) respired and grew on d-ribose; kinetic evidence is given for this yeast having two ribose carriers, one inducible and the other constitutive., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-90-1-1
