“A similar inhibition of riboflavin transfer was noted in the presence of xylose.”
“Thus, materials causing tissue-fluid uptake (e.g., glucose and xylose ) inhibit riboflavin transfer ; materials causing no tissue-fluid uptake (mannitol and glucose plus phlorizin) have no effect on drug transfer.”

“Furthermore, up‐regulation of key enzymes within the riboflavin synthesis pathway explained that xylose could induce higher riboflavin production capability of the bacteria (e.g., ∼80 mg/L from glucose vs. ∼120 mg/L from xylose).”
