3-Sulfolactate is a sulfonated organic compound that has applications in environmental and microbiological research due to its involvement in the sulfur cycle. As a chiral molecule, it serves as a substrate in studies concerning microbial enantioselectivity, wherein the utilization of different enantiomers by various organisms can be investigated. This compound is also pivotal in the analysis of sulfur metabolism pathways, as scientists explore how certain bacteria can metabolize 3-sulfolactate, thereby contributing to the biogeochemical cycling of sulfur in nature. In enzymatic research, 3-sulfolactate is used to study the activity and mechanism of sulfolactate dehydrogenases and other sulfonate-degrading enzymes.
