Description

Acetyl-DL-alanine is an organic compound that is used as a substrate in chemical reactions. Acetyl-DL-alanine has been shown to be effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria, such as Clostridium perfringens and Staphylococcus aureus, while also promoting the growth of other bacteria, such as Lactobacillus plantarum. Acetyl-DL-alanine binds to chloride ions in solution and forms a complex with chloromethyl ketones that have been shown to inhibit bacterial growth kinetics and dry weight. The immobilized form of this enzyme is more stable than the free form and can be used for long periods of time.
