Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7173742 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11709062 | https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB00138

DL-Cystine is a racemic mixture of the proteinogenic amino acids L-cystine and the non-proteinogenic D-cystine. Cystine is the oxidized dimer form of the amino acid cysteine. L-Cystine serves two biological functions, a site of redox reactions and a mechanical linkage that allows proteins to retain their 3-dimensional structure. DL-cystine is used in the preparation of sulfur-containing dimeric and monomeric surfactants.

The study was performed with the MG 155 strain of the dermatophyte Microsporum gypseum (ATCC 26 554). For inoculum we used a suspension of spores (100/nL) released from the surface of cultures cultivated for 10 d on Sabouraud's agar (4 % glucose, 1% peptone) at 26C after shaking with glass beads. The medium contained 0.8 % glucose, 0.2 % arginine hydrochloride and 0.04 % potassium dihydrogenphosphate, and was sterilized repeatedly in a stream of steam. As a source of sulphur the basic medium A contained 1 mM sodium sulphate, medium B 3 mM L-cystine and medium C 3 mM DL-cystine. Cystine was added to the sterile medium in the form of a concentrated solution in 1 ~t hydrochloric acid and the medium was immediately neutralized with 1 M potassium hydroxide.
