Bacterial cultures were treated with increasing concentrations of Linolenic SL mixture and its methyl ester derivative and antibacterial activity was checked at different time-intervals (2, 4 and 6 hrs) using standard dilution micromethod and spread plate method. Decrease in bacterial colonies was observed with increase in concentrations of compounds as well as incubation time but the level of effectiveness varies with the compound and bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of Linolenic SL mixture (LNNSL, containing 80% lactone) against B. subtilis, E. coli and P. aeruginosa were found to be 20, 10 and 10 mu g ml(-1) respectively. The MIC values of methyl ester form (LNNSLME) against B. subtilis, E. coli and P. aeruginosa were determined to be &amp;gt;20, 20 and 20 mu g ml(-1) respectively. The results suggest that Linolenic SL mixture (containing 80% lactone) as compared to its methyl ester derivative showed good antibacterial activity towards both the Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and were found to be more potent against Gram negative bacteria.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.294

The analysis confirmed that the sophorolipid (SL) mixture contained three different forms of C18:3 SL molecules: free acid, lactone and a diacetylated lactone, which has not been reported previously. Also a minor amount of diacetylated lactone form of C18:1 SL was detected. Further, the SL mixture was subjected to chemical esterification reaction with sodium methoxide. The reaction product was analyzed with ESI-MS and confirmed to be the single homogenous esterified product containing C18:3 moieties in its fatty acid chain.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.853
