Microbial Culture Media Supplementation: Primary carbon source for minimal and defined media (e.g., M9) to grow Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Fed-Batch Fermentation Feed: Concentrated glucose feed to control growth rate and productivity in microbial and yeast bioprocesses.

Mammalian Cell Culture Supplementation: Adjusts glucose concentration and osmolality in media (e.g., DMEM) for CHO and HEK293 cultures.

Competent Cell Recovery: Supplements SOB/SOC to enhance post-transformation recovery of Escherichia coli.

Catabolite Repression Control: Used to repress catabolite-sensitive promoters (e.g., lac/ara systems) to reduce basal expression in bacterial expression strains.

Antibiotic Production and Selection Media: Provides a defined carbon source in specialized media for cultivating and selecting bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus.

Enzymatic and Metabolic Assays: Source and standard for glucose oxidase/hexokinase assays and metabolic studies.

Osmolality and Carbon Flux Adjustment: Rapidly tunes culture osmolality and energy supply without large volume changes.
