Influence Of Surface Active Agents On Some Lactic Streptococci

Heat inactivation of bacteriophage strains active against lactic streptococci.

The purpose of this investigation was to obtain further information on the time-temperature relationships in the heat inactivation of bacteriophage strains active against Streptococcus lactis and Streptococcus cremoris and to determine whether the heat resistance characteristics of various bacteriophage strains were related to other criteria used in bacteriophage classification. Harriman, in hi...

Surfactants - Surface Active Agents

The definition for a detergent is a cleaning agent. The main cleaning agent used in earlier days was soap. This term means a compound formed from the reaction of a fatty acid with a base such as caustic soda, forming the sodium soap of the acid. The more commonly used cleaning agent in this day and age is the synthetic detergent (SYNDET) which is a formulation such as TIDE or FAB. The essential...

The Influence of Intravenously Administered Surface-active Agents on the Development of Experimental Atherosclerosis in Rabbits

A study was made of the relationship of blood lipids to the development of experimental atherosclerosis. Rabbits fed a diet containing cholesterol were found to develop hyperlipemia characterized by a great increase in blood cholesterol and a much lesser increase in blood phospholipids; after several weeks they manifested conspicuous atherosclerosis of the aorta, as has often been observed by o...
