l -rhamnose (6-deoxy-mannose) occurs in nature mainly as a component of certain plant structural polysaccharides and bioactive metabolites but has also been found in some microorganisms and animals. The release of l -rhamnose from these substrates is catalysed by extracellular enzymes including α- l...
