The pentose sugar L-arabinose is distributed widely as a component of plant polysaccharides in pectins, gums, and cell walls. It is also present in smaller amounts in the cell walls of some bacteria. Thus it is likely that, in its natural environment in the vertebrate intestine, the bacterium Escherichia coli periodically encounters arabinose released through degradation of these polymers (1). Not surprisingly, E. coli, like many other bacteria and fungi, has ara genes that encode the enzymes and transport proteins necessary to utilize L-arabinose as a source of carbon and energy.
