Potassium bicarbonate is a widely used reagent in research and industrial applications. Potassium bicarbonate has been used in studies of renal disorders and the relationship of muscle injury to this process. Potassium bicarbonate has been shown to inhibit the growth of Aspergillus parasiticus in Czapek's agar, and also aflatoxin synthesis.
