Magnesium oxalate is an inorganic compound comprising a magnesium cation with a 2+ charge bonded to an oxalate anion. Magnesium oxalate is a strong dicarboxylic acid occurring in many plants and vegetables. It is produced in the body by metabolism of glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid. It is not metabolized but excreted in the urine. It is used as an analytical reagent and general reducing agent. Magnesium oxalate agar was found to select against virulent types of Yersinia enterocolitica.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Magnesium was discovered by Joseph Black in 1775 and first isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808.
