      The authors did not do their homework.

      In E. coli, sorbitol is transported by the PTS (see PMC comment attached to Aidelberg G, 2014).

      Jacques Monod (Ph.D. Thesis, 1942) classified xylose and arabinose as two class B sugars, and further reported that growth on a mixture of two class B sugars does not lead to diauxie (of interest here, Monod also reported similar growth rates for his E. coli xylose- and arabinose-growing strains). Why are the authors discussing the results of a paper Groff D, 2012 reporting strategies to eliminate a diauxie with xylose and arabinose?
