Abstract
The effect of cholesterol and some of its halogen derivatives on the growth of 10 organisms is reported. 0.1% cholesterol either inhibited or enhanced the growth of the Gram-negative organisms tested, and was without effect upon the Gram-positive bacteria. The results with the steroid derivatives are variable.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
