TLDR
The structural relationships of 30 straight-chain fatty acids and derivatives and their bactericidal properties were studied and it is indicated that C12 (lauric acid) is the most inhibitory saturated fatty acid against gram-positive organisms.Abstract:
There is provided a food-grade microbicidal or microbiostatic composition containing a food or food-grade material and as the primary microbicide a mono-ester of a polyol and a twelve carbon atom aliphatic fatty acid.read more

Antibacterial free fatty acids: activities, mechanisms of action and biotechnological potential
Andrew P. Desbois,Valerie Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Their broad spectrum of activity, non-specific mode of action and safety makes them attractive as antibacterial agents for various applications in medicine, agriculture and food preservation, especially where the use of conventional antibiotics is undesirable or prohibited.

Hydrophilic polypropylene fibers having antimicrobial activity
Wayne K. Dunshee,Thomas P. Klun,Kevin R. Schaffer,Jeffrey F. Andrews,Debra M. Neu,Matthew T. Scholz +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a fatty acid monoglyceride added to polypropylene as a melt additive is described to enhance the hydrophilicity of the fibers and devices and an antimicrobial enhancer material can be added to the fibers to improve the antimicrobial activity.

Antibacterial activity of selected fatty acids and essential oils against six meat spoilage organisms.
TL;DR: The antibacterial activity of selected fatty acids and essential oils was examined against two gram-negative and four gram-positive bacteria involved in meat spoilage and a relationship was found between the inhibitory effect of essential oils and the presence of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid synthesis is a target for antibacterial activity of unsaturated fatty acids
TL;DR: The data demonstrate for the first time that the antibacterial action of unsaturated fatty acids is mediated by the inhibition of fatty acid synthesis, and also correlated with antibacterial activity.

Influence of trace amounts of fatty acids on the growth of microorganisms.
TL;DR: A better understanding of the inhibitory and and linolenic acids on pneumococci at a concenstimulating effects of fatty acids on the growth of tration may contribute to a clearer bactericidal influence.

Feedback Inhibition of Key Glycolytic Enzymes in Liver: Action of Free Fatty Acids
TL;DR: The biological significance of the inhibition of the key glycolytic enzymes is interpreted as a feedback inhibitory mechanism in regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis and may function for rapid adaptation by which the organism can use the fatty acid level as a metabolic directional switch in decreasing glyCOlysis and turning on gluconeogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of lipids and serum albumin on bacterial growth.
TL;DR: The results suggest that long chain fatty acids can affect the growth of different microbial species through different metabolic channels and that, in order to study the mechanism of these metabolic and growth reactions, it is essential to use the fatty acids under conditions where they cannot manifest their toxic properties.
