L-fucose is a monosaccharide that supports gut bacterial defense barriers through colanic acid production, whose GDP-fucose biosynthetic pathway is tightly regulated by genes such as manB, manC, gmd, and wcaG. Its derivatives hold promise for biotechnology and medicine, including prebiotics and fucosylated glycoprotein applications.
