It is a racemic mixture of D and L tryptophan, an aromatic amino acid that participates in several metabolic pathways. It is a nutrient source and supplied as a supplement in the culture media for particular fungal species like Psilocybe atrobrunnea and Psilocybe serbica, in which it is involved in the production of some psychotropic substances. Because it participates in such pathways, it can be used for studies of secondary metabolite and biochemical processes in microorganisms.
