Nigerose is an α(1,3) linked glucose disaccaharide used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and quantify enzymes such as nigerose phosphorylase(s) and α-glucosidase(s). Enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis or formation of α-1,3 linkages are studied for their potential applications in biotechnology and synthetic biology. It is a naturally occurring sugar derived from the partial hydrolysis of starch. Nigerose can be found in honey and various traditional fermented foods. Biologically, nigerose serves as a carbon source for certain microorganisms, playing a role in the metabolic pathways of bacteria and fungi capable of utilizing this sugar. The study of these pathways provides insights into microbial ecology.
