2-Keto-L-gluconic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is found in many plants. It is used to produce industrial chemicals, as well as an intermediate for the synthesis of other compounds. 2-Keto-L-gluconic acid has been detected at high concentrations in sorbose and citric acids, and also at low levels in α-tocopherol. This compound is part of the citric acid cycle, which provides energy to cells through oxidation of organic compounds. 2-Keto-L-gluconic acid plays a role in the transport chain by acting as an electron acceptor during the process of aerobic respiration. The redox potential of this molecule can be assessed by measuring its ability to reduce oxygen to water. The enzyme responsible for this activity is dehydrogenase. 2-Keto-L-gluconic acid has been shown to stimulate growth rates in various microorganisms including Escher
