Sodium pyruvate is frequently added to corpuscle ability media as an added antecedent of energy, but may aswell accept careful furnishings adjoin hydrogen peroxide. This was appear by Giandomenico et al. and has been accepted by several absolute groups.

Sodium pyruvate is frequently added to corpuscle ability media as a carbon antecedent in accession to glucose. Since beef accomplish sodium pyruvate as an average metabolite in the glycolysis pathway, it is not a appropriate supplement for all corpuscle cultures.
