Identification
Name: Melibiose
Description:Melibiose is a disaccharide consisting of one galactose and one glucose moiety in an alpha (1-6) glycosidic linkage. This sugar is produced and metabolized only by enteric and lactic acid bacteria and other microbes. Melibiose can be broken down by gut microflora such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Melibiose is first imported by the melibiose permease, MelB, and then converted to alpha-D-glucose and alpha-D-galactose by the galactosidase encoded by melA. (HMDB) In fact, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is able to utilize melibiose as a sole source of carbon.

Transporters

General function:
Involved in transmembrane transport
Specific function:
Involved in the efflux of sugars. The physiological role may be the reduction of the intracellular concentration of toxic sugars or sugar metabolites. Transports L-arabinose and to a lesser extent IPTG. Seems to contribute to the control of the arabinose regulon
