Fig. 5. Predicted l-fucose/d-arabinose metabolic pathway.

Fig. 5

Model was developed based on homology to other characterized enzymes. The activity of FucX has been experimentally verified as has the production of l-fuconic acid. Inner molecules trace the products formed by l-fucose catabolism and outer molecules are from d-arabinose catabolism. The letters underneath each enzyme name denote the mutant growth phenotype (G = mutant has a growth enhancement on l-fucose and d-arabinose, N = no growth enhancement as determined either in the present or previous25 study).
