Acetic acid (CH₃COOH; PubChem CID 176) is a simple carboxylic acid widely used in laboratory research. It functions as a solvent, reagent, and microbial substrate, with relevance in organic synthesis, biochemical assays, and fermentation studies. Supplied in high purity, this compound is strictly intended for controlled research use.
Acetic acid is one of the simplest carboxylic acids, partially dissociating in solution with a pKₐ of 4.76 [1]. It plays an essential role in organic synthesis as a precursor for esters, acetylated compounds, and acetic anhydride [1].
In microbiology, acetic acid is produced by acetic acid bacteria and influences fermentation processes [2]. Research also shows inhibitory effects on co-fermentation of glucose and xylose, making it a focus in biofuel and metabolic studies [3].
Its antimicrobial properties have been investigated, with studies reporting activity against resistant pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa [4]. Additionally, exposure research highlights its effects at low vapor concentrations, relevant to toxicology and occupational studies [5].
