General description

L-(+)-Arabinose is a pentose sugar that occurs naturally in corn fiber gum and acacia gum.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Arabinose is the naturally occurring isomer and is a constituent of plant polysaccharides. Most bacteria contain an inducible arabinose operon that codes for a series of enzymes and transporters that allows L-arabinose to be used as the sole carbon source in microbial culture.
