Medchemexpress LLC D-(+)-Fucose | 3615-37-0 | 50 MG
Supplier: Medchemexpress LLC HYN510250MG
D-(+)-Fucose is a nonmetabolizable analogue of L-arabinose. It prevents the growth of Escherichia coli B/r on a mineral salts medium plus L-arabinose by inhibiting the induction of the L-arabinose operon. D-fucose is also a potent inducer of beta-methylgalactoside permease (MGP). In vitro studies show that D-(+)-Fucose-resistant mutants produce an araC gene product with altered inducer specificity.
