Quote from:
Glucose and related molecules can be subdivided into two forms, D and L, which are mirror images of each other.  Generally only one is naturally occurring.  Without a D or an L, the name could refer to either one or to a mixture.  It is ambiguous.  6-phosphoglucono-δ-lactone is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, but that is a different compound.  I did find one article that had a paragraph of information:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2966367/

Thank you for additional information.
