TL;DR: Evidence is presented which indicates that the sodium ion of the metabolizable sodium salts exerts its effect by enhancing uric acid transport or excretion against ammonia intoxication in chicks.

TL;DR: In this article, the production of xanthan gum from short-chain volatile acids in replacement by the traditional citrate that is usually used in medium composition for the gum production was investigated.

TL;DR: Varying dosage rates of calcium hypochlorite, mercuric chloride, and sodium propionate were used as partial sterilization agents in field and greenhouse trials to determine the effect on soil biological activity, and thereby, organic matter decomposition rates.
Abstract: Varying dosage rates of calcium hypochlorite, mercuric chloride, and sodium propionate were used as partial sterilization agents in field and greenhouse trials to determine the effect on soil biological activity, and thereby, organic matter decomposition rates. Application of the chemicals often resulted in the initial stimulation of respiration rates. In greenhouse and field trials this stimulation was most commonly associated with the application of sodium propionate. Fungal counts decreased and bacterial counts increased when this chemical was used. Within 4 weeks after treatment, all rates of application of the various chemicals depressed soil CO2 evolution. Thirteen months after treatment, plots treated with 100 lb of mercuric chloride per acre had one quarter as many actinomycetes and total microbes, and one third as many fungi, as did the control plots. Respiration was also considerably lower. Calcium hypochlorite treated plots retained reduced total counts and sodium propionate reduced fungal coun...

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a higher concentration of the salts of organic acids is necessary to ensure sustained inactivation of target pathogens because they are weakly antilisterial when the soft cheeses are stored at 10 °C.
Abstract: Summary
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sodium lactate and sodium propionate, both in combination with sodium acetate, on strains of Listeria monocytogenes in artificially inoculated soft cheeses Minas Frescal and Coalho cheeses, inoculated with a mix of L monocytogenes 1/2a and Scott A, underwent two treatments: 2% (w/v) sodium lactate in combination with 025% (w/v) sodium acetate and 2% (w/v) sodium propionate in combination with 025% (w/v) sodium acetate The samples were analysed immediately and after 7 days at 10 °C The growth of the pathogen was inhibited in cheeses containing the salts of organic acids, and the effects of treatment were statistically significant (P < 005) However, there was no difference between the types of treatment applied Our data demonstrate that the effectiveness of the salts of organic acids depended on the initial concentration of L monocytogenes and that a higher concentration of the salts is necessary to ensure sustained inactivation of target pathogens because they are weakly antilisterial when the soft cheeses are stored at 10 °C

TL;DR: Nystatin was more effective in reducing incidence and severity than any of the chemotherapeutic compounds or mixtures tested and substantially reduced by combined treatment with sodium propionate and gentian violet.
Abstract: SUMMARY The prophylactic effects of nystatin, ethylenediamine dihydriodide, Benlate, sodium propionate, and gentian violet were evaluated on experimental moniliasis in quail. Three-to-5-day-old quail were concurrently exposed to drinking water inoculated with Candida albicans and fed rations containing the test compounds for 21 to 22 days. The quail in the 18 test and 6 control groups totaled 1,116. Quail treated with ethylenediamine dihydriodide and Benlate had neither a significant reduction of incidence nor a decreased severity of lesions from those of untreated control birds. Quail treated with either gentian violet or sodium propionate had a slight overall reduction in incidence and severity of lesions. Incidence and severity were substantially reduced by combined treatment with sodium propionate and gentian violet. Nystatin was more effective in reducing incidence and severity than any of the chemotherapeutic compounds or mixtures tested.
