摘要
The minimum growth inhibitory concentration of benzoic and propionic acids and esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (parabens) has been determined for Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. For benzoic and propionic acid, the inhibition was shown to be due to both undissociated and dissociated acid,and the effect of each has been calculated in accordance with a proposed mathematical model which has earlier been applied to sorbic acid. Parabens showed some pH dependence for the action on bacteria, but not on yeast. This pH dependence was unrelated to dissociation.
