Maleic acid (Standard)

Description

Maleic Acid Standard is the analytical standard of Maleic Acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Maleic Acid is a Glutamate Decarboxylase GAD inhibitor of E. coli and L. monocytogenes. IC50 & Target: GAD. In Vitro: The MICs of WT 10403S for the acids e.g., Maleic Acid are 34 mM, 25 mM, 31 mM and 30 mM which correspond to pH values prior to growth of 4.84, 5.14, 5.32 and 5.02 respectively. Of all compounds tested, Maleic Acid is the least inhibitory despite acting at a lower pH 4.84 . The most acid resistant 10403S and the weakest EGD-e strain are challenged with 8.6 mM and 4.3 mM of each organic acid at pH 3 and 3.3 respectively. On both strains, Maleic Acid is the most bactericidal.
