E. coli will always metabolize glucose when present to avoid using excess energy to breakdown the other sugars into their subunits (lactose breaks down into glucose and galatose etc.)

What happens when Fehling's solution is mixed with sucrose?

The sucrose does not react with Fehling's reagent. Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. Most disaccharides are reducing sugars, sucrose is a notable exception, for it is a non-reducing sugar. The anomeric carbon of glucose is involved in the glucose- fructose bond and hence is not free to form the aldehyde in solution.


Can sucrose hydrolysis result L-glucose?

No, sucrose hydrolysis will not result in L-glucose. Sucrose is made up of glucose and fructose, but the hydrolysis of sucrose produces equal parts of glucose and fructose in their D form, not L-glucose.

What is an agarslant?

Agarslant is a means whereby agar is created. It is also known as a TSI or Triple Sugar Iron Test. It is a process whereby agar is cooled in a slanted position. Here's what happens: agar is mixed in a test tube with 1% lactose, 1% sucrose, 0.1% glucose, sodium thiosulfate, and ferrous sulfate or ferrous ammonium sulfate. This causes the agar to react in such a way so that it cools in a slanted position.
