Description:Palmitic acid is a fatty acid that is found in animal and vegetable fats. It is also an important component of the cell membrane. Palmitic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by interfering with the synthesis of cell membranes, which are largely composed of lipids. Palmitic acid has been shown to be active against Gram-positive bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis, as well as Gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Palmitic acid can be used to produce monolayers for use in magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These monolayers have been shown to have an effect on the rate at which glucose is transported across the surface of the membrane. Palmitic acid also inhibits glucosylceramide production in ganoderma lucidum, a type of fungus that causes plant diseases, by blocking
