About D-(+)-Xylose Himedia

HiMedia's D-(+)-Xylose is a pure, white crystalline powder, a pentose sugar (5-carbon) used in microbiology for bacterial identification (especially differentiating Salmonella/Shigella on XLD Agar), plant tissue culture, and as a diagnostic agent for malabsorption, known for its sweet taste and role as a reducing sugar. It's a key component in culture media, providing a carbohydrate source that, when fermented by bacteria, changes the medium's pH and color, indicating the organism's metabolic activity. Key Features & Uses:

Chemical Nature: A monosaccharide of the aldopentose type, it's a reducing sugar due to its free aldehyde group.
Physical Form: A white crystalline powder, readily soluble in water.
Microbiology:
- Used in XLD Agar (Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate) for isolating Salmonella & Shigella, producing specific colony colors (pink/red for Shigella, black centers for Salmonella).
- Used in differentiation discs to test microbial fermentation.
Biochemical/Diagnostic:
- Used in the D-xylose absorption test for intestinal malabsorption.
- Stimulates microbial activity and biofilm formation.
Plant Science: Used in plant tissue culture media.
Chemistry: Can be hydrogenated to produce xylitol, a common sweetener.

Product Details (Typical for HiMedia):

CAS Number: 58-86-6.
Molecular Formula: CHO.
Molecular Weight: ~150.13 g/mol.
Purity: Often minimum 99%.
Storage: Typically stored below 30C.
