Application
Pyruvic acid was used to study the cultivation of previously undescribed soil bacteria as micro colonies using soil substrate membrane system. Pyruvic acid was used to develop a new method for simultaneous determination of organic acids in red wine and must using liquid chromatography.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pyruvic acid reacts with N-acetyl mannosamine by an aldol-type condensation to form sialic acid. Pyruvic acid is a component of commercial red seaweed polysaccharide. In muscle, pyruvic acid (derived from glycogen) is reduced to lactic acid during exertion, which is reoxidized and partially retransformed to glycogen during rest.

Most bacteria are recalcitrant to traditional cultivation in the laboratory. The soil substrate membrane system provides a simulated environment for the cultivation of previously undescribed soil bacteria as microcolonies. The system uses a polycarbonate membrane as a solid support for
Pyruvic acid, a unique component of an exocellular bacterial polysaccharide.
