p-n-Butylaniline ([nBA] = 1 × 10−3 M) incorporated in cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ([CTABr] = 6 × 10−3M) was found to enhance the rate of decarboxylation of oxalacetic acid (OAA) 45-fold while nBA alone only increases the rate six-fold as compared to the rate of spontaneous decarboxylation at the same pH. Anionic micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate ([SDS] = 6 × 10−3 M) completely inhibited the catalytic effect of nBA. Together with the effects of added salts and the change of pH on the rate of the reaction the role of micelles in the decarboxylation of OAA is discussed.

In liquid culture, eight typical Gram-negative bacteria were ca. 10 000-fold more sensitive to cationic detergents than to the anionic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was inhibitory at concentrations ranging from 0.0006% to 0.01%. Four pseudomonads able to form biofilms were ca. 1000-fold more resistant to CTAB on Luria–Bertani agar plates than they were in liquid culture. A lasI mutant of Pseudomonas aerugi nosa was only able to tolerate 0.1% CTAB on Luria–Bertani agar plates but could tolerate 5% CTAB when supplemented with homoserine lactone containing culture supernatants.Key words: sodium dodecyl sulfate, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, bacterial detergent resistance, homoserine lactones, Pseudomonas biofilms.
