Introduction of 123-76-2 :

Levulinic acid is a precursor for the synthesis of biofuels, such as ethyl levulinate. Levulinic acid is also a 5-keto-pentanoic acid. Levulinic acid can be utilized by the cells as a cosubstrate for biopolymer synthesis. Levulinic acid can be used in antibacterial research[1][2][3]. In Vitro: Levulinic acid (3% v/v) combined with low-concentration acidic electrolyzed water exhibits broad-spectrum bactericidal effects (aerobic bacteria, yeasts and moulds, E. coli and L. innocua) on fresh organic lettuce (Lactuca sativa Var. Crispa L.) by destroying cell membrane permeability and morphology[2].
Levulinic acid (0.5 g/L, 24 h) shows obvious enhancement of Alcatigenes sp. SH-69 cells growth and PHA accumulation[3].
