| Research Abstract |
1, 5-Anhydro-D-fructose suppressed the growth of many kinds of Gram positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes. The effect of the sugar on Gram negative bacteria was limited. In the case of Escherichia coli, the sugar was found to be assimilated. The sugar also did not give any effect on the growth of many fungi and yeast, because they also assimilated this sugar.
