a-D-Glucose-1-phosphate disodium salt hydrate (aGPD) is a bacterial strain that has been shown to produce fatty acids from glucose. The production of fatty acids has been shown to be dependent on transfer reactions involving tagatose, which is an intermediate product of the process optimization of aGPD. The final product of these reactions is lactic acid, which is formed in an acidic environment. This bacterial strain has also been used as a model system for studying kidney bean phosphatase and photosynthetic activity in monoclonal antibody production.
