Product Information

• Name: D-Gluconic acid potassium salt
• Synonyms: Potassium gluconate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: D-Gluconic acid potassium salt is a glycol ether with biochemical properties that can be used to synthesize covalent linkages. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties in wild-type strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. D-Gluconic acid potassium salt has been shown to exhibit inhibitory effects on the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein, as well as enzyme activities. The matrix effect is an analytical method that measures the inhibition of bacterial growth in agar plates. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a technique that measures changes in electrical resistance when bacteria are placed on an electrode surface. This technique has been used to show that D-gluconic acid potassium salt exhibits inhibitory effects against group P2 enzymes, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is used for DNA replication and amplification.
