Maltose (maltobiose) is a reducing sugar and is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose bound by a (1-4) bond. Maltose can be used as an energy source for bacteria.

Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan) is a glucosaminoglycan consisting of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine disaccharide units that is a component of connective tissue, skin, vitreous humour, umbilical cord, synovial fluid and the capsule of certain microorganisms contributing to adhesion, elasticity, and viscosity of extracellular substances.

Sucralfate is a gastrointestinal protectant that includes sucrose octasulfate . Sucralfate protects gastric epithelial cells against acid- and pepsin-induced damage. Sucrose hexasulfate is a polysulfated disaccharide that is used as a reference standard for sucralfate.

Sophorose, a disaccharide within sophorolipids synthesized by yeast, functions as a biosurfactant owing to its hydrophobic properties. It demonstrates multifaceted biological activities, including antibacterial, antifungal, spermicidal, virucidal, and anticancer effects. Furthermore, sophorose serves as a potent inducer of cellulase gene expression in Trichoderma reesei during fermentation.

ImmTher is a liposome-encapsulated lipophilic disaccharide tripeptide derivative of muramyl dipeptide. It can upregulate specific monocyte cytokine genes and activate monocyte-mediated tumoricidal activity.

Trehalose C12 (α-D-Glucopyranosyl-α-D-glucopyranoside monododecanoate) is a non-reducing disaccharide utilized for its amphiphilic properties as an emulsifier, surfactant, encapsulating material, and in biochemical research on cellular processes and membrane interactions.

Laminaribiose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked by a β-1,3-glycosidic bond. It is commonly found in various plant cell walls and is a hydrolysis product of the polysaccharide laminarin. Laminaribiose has multiple applications in biochemical research, particularly as a substrate for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Additionally, it serves as a carbon source for certain microorganisms and as a dietary supplement.

Sophorose (2-O-beta-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-glucopyranose) monohydrate is a disaccharide component of microbial glycolipids, known for its hydrophobic nature, making sophorolipids effective as biosurfactants. Additionally, sophorolipids exhibit antimicrobial, antifungal, spermicidal, antiviral, and anticancer properties. In studies involving Trichoderma reesei fermentation, sophorose monohydrate has been identified as a potent inducer of cellulase gene expression.
