The Bacillus subtilis AraE Protein Displays a Broad Substrate Specificity for Several Different Sugars

Oliver Krispin and Rudolf Allmansberger*

Received 17 February 1998/Accepted 16 April 1998

Bacillus subtilis 168 is unable to grow on xylose and galactose as sole carbon sources, owing to the lack of specific transporters. We show that they are imported into the cell by the activity of AraE, an arabinose transporter whose synthesis is induced by L-arabinose.
