Rhamnose is a naturally occurring deoxy sugar which can be classified as either a methyl-pentose or a 6-deoxy-hexose. Unlike most other naturally occurring sugars rhamnose is found in nature as L-rhamnose. Rhamnose can be isolated from plants such as Buckthorn, poison sumac, and those of the genus Uncaria. It is also produced by microalgae from class Bacillariophyceae. Throughout nature, rhamnose is commonly bound to other sugars. It is a common glycone component of glycosides in many plants. It also forms a component of the outer cell membrane in acid-fast bacteria of the genus Mycobaterium, including tuberculosis.
