Description

Application

• Halopseudomonas species: Cultivation and molecular genetic tools.: This study describes the application of L-(+)-Arabinose in the cultivation of Halopseudomonas species, highlighting its role in microbial biotechnology and genetic tool development (Kruse et al., 2024).


• easyPACId, a Simple Method for Induced Production, Isolation, Identification, and Testing of Natural Products from Proteobacteria.: Discusses a methodology that includes the use of L-(+)-Arabinose for inducing the production of natural products in Proteobacteria, demonstrating its value in microbial natural product research (Bode et al., 2023).

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.
