Description

L-rhamnose (Rha, 6-deoxy-L-mannose) (Collins, 2006) is normally bound to other sugars as a glycoside in many plant oligosaccharides and in polysaccharides. Rhamnose is also a component of the cell wall of Mycobacterium. In plants, rhamnose is found in the polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan I, a branched pectic polysaccharide that accounts for 7–14% of the primary wall (Oomen, 2002). Rhamnose is also found in rhamnogalacturonan II, a complex polysaccharide that accounts for ∌4% of the wall in dicots (Vidal, 2000). Rhamnose is also found in chacotriose and solatriose, the glycan components of solamargine and solasonine, two glycoalkaloids with anticancer properties (Al Sinani, 2017). An understanding of the rhamnose-containing polysaccharides of the gram positive cell wall has identified the biosynthetic pathway as an attractive therapeutic target for antimicrobial drug development (Mistou, 2016).
