Growth inhibitory actions of both DHA (Dehydroacetic acid) and DAC (Dehyoroacetocarooxylic acid) against several microörganisms were studied by the method of photoelectro-turbidi-metry. The results were as follows: (1) Both DHA and DAC inhibited the growth of microörganisms in the logarithmic and st...
