Models of arabinose and AOS utilization in bifidobacteria. (A) Arabinose utilization via arabinose transporters. (B) Arabinose utilization in B. gallicum. (C) α-AOS utilization. (D) β-AOS utilization. Arabinosidases are shown by light brown ovals. Predicted sugar uptake ABC transporters and permeases are shown as light blue complex and rectangular shapes, respectively. The arabinose monosaccharide catabolic enzymes are shown in green boxes. ‘Hypo GH’ denotes hypothetical glycosyl hydrolases that are presumed to be involved in AOS utilization. Pentagon represents a hydroxyproline residue of a glycosylated protein.
