L(+)-Arabinose

L-(+)-Arabinose is the naturally occurring isomer and is a constituent of plant polysaccharides.


  • Substrate for pentose sugar isomerase
  • Used in bioproduction of L-ribose


L-(+)-Arabinose is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize pentose sugar isomerase(s). L-Arabinose is used in the bioproduction of L-ribose.


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
