Abstract
Farnesinic acid, [alpha]-p-biphenylylbutyric acid, [beta]-hydroxy-[beta]-methylglutaric acid, [alpha]-phenylbutyric acid and dimethylacrylic acid were found to be anti-metabolites of mevalonic acid in this order of decreasing activity for the growth of L. acidophilus 4963. Implications of these findings are discussed.Keywords
