Abstract
The effect of pH and inorganic salt on the growth of Vibrio anguillarum was investigated in the presence of such surfactants as polyethoxylated fatty alcohol (SAEO), polyethoxylated alkyl phenol (NPEO), straight chain alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and sucrose fatty acid ester (SE).
The results showed that SAEO, when acidic medium of pH 5 was employed, LAS and NPEO accelerated the antibacterial activity and also that, after the exposure of the bacterium to pH 5 medium, growth was apparently retarded on pH 7 medium.
