D- (+) -Fucose

D- (+) -Fucose is a nonmetabolizable analogue of l-arabinose. D- (+) -Fucose prevents growth of Escherichia coli B/r on a mineral salts medium plus l-arabinose by inhibiting induction of the l-arabinose operon. D-fucose is a potent inducer of beta-methylgalactoside permease (MGP) [1].
