Abstract

SUMMARY: Screening tests indicated that Gram positive bacteria are inhibited by long chain fatty acids. No inhibition was demonstrated with Gram negative bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for a series of the fatty acids are presented. Growth curves in the presence of linolenic acid showed increases in lag phase duration and calcium addition reversed this effect, thus indicating the arbitrary nature of the MIC values. Bactericidal studies showed lauric acid to be the most active saturated fatty acid but the activity was less than that of the C 18 unsaturated fatty acids. Oleic acid was more effective than elaidic acid. Calcium ions, cholesterol and ergocalciferol reversed the activities of lauric and linoleic acids but magnesium ions effectively counteracted lauric acid only. A physicochemical explanation for the relative activities has been attempted.

  • Sodium oleate was used as a model for LCFA because it is generally the most abundant LCFA in wastewater, has good solubility, is the most important LCFA produced by whole milk degradation, and is one of the more toxic LCFA.

    “Sodium oleate was used as a model for LCFA because it is, in general, the most abundant of all LCFA present in wastewater (Komatsu et al., 1991), has a good solubility, it is the most important LCFA produced by whole milk degradation (Hanaki et al., 1981) and is one of the more toxic LCFA (Galbraith et al., 1971).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
