L-(−)-Glucose is an enantiomer of the more common D-glucose. L-Glucose is not bioavailable to cells as an energy source because it cannot be phosphorylated by hexokinase. However, certain L-glucose-utilizing bacteria that contain NAD+-dependent L-glucose dehydrogenases capable of oxidizing L-glucose have been identified.{32647}
