L-Arabinose Transport and Metabolism in Salmonella Influences Biofilm Formation [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 L-arabinose inducible promoters are commonly used in gene expression analysis. However, nutrient source and availability also play a role in biofilm formation; therefore, L-arabinose metabolism could impact biofilm development.

Salmonella-liberated dietary L-arabinose promotes expansion in superspreaders [PDF]
Cell Host and Microbe, 2023 Our understanding of specific metabolites that drive host-pathogen interactions in the guts of superspreader hosts is incomplete. In a mouse model of chronic, asymptomatic Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Tm) infection, we performed untargeted

Functional characterization of a highly specific l-arabinose transporter from Trichoderma reesei [PDF]
Microbial Cell Factories, 2021 Background Lignocellulose biomass has been investigated as a feedstock for second generation biofuels and other value-added products. Some of the processes for biofuel production utilize cellulases and hemicellulases to convert the lignocellulosic ...

Efficacy of L-Arabinose in Lowering Glycemic and Insulinemic Responses: The Modifying Effect of Starch and Fat [PDF]
Foods, 2022 L-arabinose is a bio-active compound derived from the side-streams of plant food processing. L-arabinose lowers glycemic and insulinemic responses when added to simple water-based sugary liquids.

L-arabinose and D-xylose: sweet pentoses that may reduce postprandial glucose and insulin responses [PDF]
Food & Nutrition Research, 2021 Background: Diets inducing high fluctuations in plasma glucose levels are linked to type 2 diabetes. L-arabinose and D-xylose have been hypothesized to inhibit intestinal sucrase activity, delay sucrose digestion, and reduce glycaemic and insulinaemic ...

Exploring a Highly D-Galactose Specific L-Arabinose Isomerase From Bifidobacterium adolescentis for D-Tagatose Production [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 D-Galactose-specific L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) would have much potential for the enzymatic conversion of D-Galactose into D-tagatose, while most of the reported L-AIs are L-arabinose specific.

L-arabinose affects the growth, biofilm formation, motility, c-di-GMP metabolism, and global gene expression of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. [PDF]
J Bacteriol, 2023 The L-arabinose inducible pBAD vectors are commonly used to turn on and off the expression of specific genes in bacteria. The utilization of certain carbohydrates can influence bacterial growth, virulence factor production, and biofilm formation.

Metabolism of L-arabinose converges with virulence regulation to promote enteric pathogen fitness. [PDF]
Nat CommunVirulence and metabolism are often interlinked to control the expression of essential colonisation factors in response to host-associated signals. Here, we identified an uncharacterised transporter of the dietary monosaccharide ʟ-arabinose that is widely

The role of l-arabinose metabolism for Escherichia coli O157:H7 in edible plants. [PDF]
Microbiology (Reading), 2021 Arabinose is a major plant aldopentose in the form of arabinans complexed in cell wall polysaccharides or glycoproteins (AGP), but comparatively rare as a monosaccharide.
