ABSTRACT:
The galactitol level in the body fluid, e.g. blood or urine, is determined by the method that comprises allowing a body fluid sample to contact in vitro with a bacterium capable of producing D-tagatose from galactitol, and measuring the D-tagatose. Such bacterium is of the genus Arthrobacter, specifically, Arthrobacter globiformis ST-48 FERM P-7592 or its mutant, or of the genus Pseudomonas. The method is useful for detecting galactose dysbolism.
