General description

D-(+)-Glucose is a monosaccharide which is the main source of energy in the form of ATP for living organisms. The effect of adding glucose as a supplement to the infection media of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts has been studied. The polymer-bound glucose template has been demonstrated to be useful in the multi-step parallel synthesis of various compounds.

Application

D-(+)-Glucose has been used as a standard for the estimation of total sugar in hydrolyzed starch by phenol-sulfuric acid method.
It has been used in the preparation of the following liquid media for culturing yeast cells:
  • CM glucose broth minus HIS (histidine)
  • CM glucose broth minus URA (uracil)
  • CM glucose broth minus TRP (tryptophan)

Preparation Note

The material may produce a yellowish solution if prepared at a higher concentration than 2 g + 15mL.
