Description

Succinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. It is produced by the oxidation of succinate and can be used as a food additive to increase the flavor of certain foods. Succinic acid has been shown to have potentiodynamic polarization, which is the ability to produce an electric current in response to changes in voltage. This property makes it a good candidate for commercialization because it can be used as a fuel cell electrode material. Succinic acid also has many other uses in industry and biochemistry, such as being used in the production of polyesters, plastics, and detergents. Succinic acid has been shown to inhibit some microorganisms through its hydrophobic properties. The reaction time for succinic acid is slow because it needs to be activated by enzymes before it can act on other molecules. The genome sequence of succinogenes has also shown that they are metabolically active organisms with high levels of
