Abstract

The presence of small amounts of certain adhesive tapes in an incubator can give rise to marked inhibition of bacterial growth and induce the formation of small colony variants, especially of Micrococcaceae. DAQ, which is volatile, is the active agent in the tapes. Staphylococci and micrococci vary greatly in their sensitivity to DAQ—a property that may be useful as a marker for certain strains. Sensitivity to DAQ in Micrococcaceae could not be related to their quinone patterns.
