In a competitive microbial environment nutrient acquisition is a major contributor to the survival of any individual bacterial species, and the ability to access uncommon energy sources can provide a fitness advantage. One set of soluble carbohydrates that have attracted increased attention for use in biotechnology and biomedicine are the α-diglucosides. Maltose is the most well studied member of this class, however the remaining four less common α-diglucosides (trehalose, kojibiose, nigerose, and isomaltose) are increasingly used in processed food and fermented beverages. The consumption of trehalose has recently been shown to be a contributing factor in gut microbiome disease as certain pathogens are using α-diglucosides to outcompete native gut flora. Kojibiose and nigerose have also been examined potential prebiotics and alternative sweeteners for a variety of foods. Compared to the study of maltose metabolism our understanding of the synthesis and degradation of uncommon α-diglucosides is lacking and several fundamental questions that remain unanswered, particularly in regards to the regulation of bacterial metabolism for α-diglucosides. Therefore this minireview attempts to provide a focused analysis of uncommon α-diglucoside metabolism in bacteria, and suggests some future directions for this research area that could potentially accelerate biotechnology and biomedicine developments.
