The ara operon consists of three genes that allow E.coli to use the sugar arabinose. Furthermore, the ara operon is controlled by a regular protein that exerts a positive and negative on the expression of the ara operon. The regulatory protein AraC turns on the ara operon in the presence of arabinose.
