D-arabitol catabolic process to D-xylulose 5-phosphate
d-arabitol catabolic process to d-xylulose 5-phosphate
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of D-arabitol to form D-xylulose 5-phosphate. D-arabitol is converted into D-xylulose, which is then phosphorylated to form D-xylulose-5-phosphate.
