Possible Interaction: Ribose and Xylose

“In tests using adults, arabinose, galactose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, mannose, melibiose, ribose , sorbitol, trehalose, and xylose significantly reduced mean day survival.”

“ D-Ribose , D-mannose and L-rhamnose occurring in rumen bacteria significantly inhibited Na(+)-dependent uptake of D-xylose into BBMV, but their inhibitory effect was less than that of D-glucose, D-xylose and phlorizin.”

“The pentoses arabinose, 2-deoxyribose and xylose inhibited ribose uptake, whereas hexoses (glucose, alpha-methylglucoside, thioglucose, galactose, lactose, maltose, mannose), adenosine, and proline did not inhibit uptake, indicating that the transporter exhibited substrate specificity.”

“The results demonstrate the chiral orthogonality of the ribose and xylose based episomes.”

“Transcription of the ribose (rbs) operon was repressed in the presence of D-xylose , phenotypically similar to catabolite repression by D-glucose, although D-ribose did not affect transcription of the xylose (xyl) operon.”

“ Ribose markedly enhanced the colour forming ability, nitrite decomposition and reducing ability, depending upon its initial concentration; and xylose and arabinose exhibited some promoting effects on them.”
