Description

Used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize pentose sugar isomerases. L-(+)-Arabinose, MP Biomedicals is the naturally occurring isomer and is a constituent of plant polysaccharides. It is used in the bioproduction of L-ribose

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.
