Product Information

• Name: Methyl β-D-ribopyranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl β-D-ribopyranoside is a sugar alcohol that belongs to the group of pentoses. It is a potential precursor for the synthesis of phosphite, which is a reactive anion used in organic chemistry. Methyl β-D-ribopyranoside has been shown to regulate the growth of bacteria and fungi by altering their metabolic pathways. This compound also has shown to be programmed death in certain bacterial strains, although it is not clear how it induces this programmed death. Methyl β-D-ribopyranoside can also affect the rhizosphere and can be used as a substrate for anions and sugar alcohols.
