Abstract
Inhibition of growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was obtained with a number of chloro-substituted fatty acid herbicides. Several concentrations of beta-alanine added to the growth media offered varying degrees of protection against 2,3,3[image]-trichloroisobutyric acid, 2,3-dichloroiso-butyric acid, 2,2,3-trichloropropionic acid, 2,2-dichloropropionic acid, trichloroacetic acid, propionic acid and acetic acid. Results indicate that these compounds interfere with synthesis of pantothenic acid.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
