| General description: | D-Arabinose is a rare aldopentose, and is rarely utilized by enteric bacteria as a source of carbon and energy. It is also found in the aloins of the plant genus Aloe and as a constituent of the polysaccharide of the bacterial genus Mycobacterium. Some of the enteric bacteria like Escherichia coli K-12 can mutate to utilize D-arabinose. |
