The Mal regulon is a set of genes in bacteria, primarily studied in Escherichia coli, that are involved in the transport and metabolism of maltose and maltodextrins. This regulon is typically composed of genes that encode proteins required for the uptake of these sugars and their subsequent breakdown. The main components of the Mal regulon include: 1. **MalT**: The regulatory protein that activates the transcription of the mal genes in response to the presence of maltose.
