• Antibacterial free fatty acids: activities, mechanisms of action and biotechnological potential (2010, background): “Inhibition of enzyme activity FFAs are potent inhibitors of diverse enzymes, and unsaturated FFAs usually have greater inhibitory activity than saturated ones (Kurihara et al. 1999; Zheng et al. 2005; Won et al. 2007; Hamel 2009; Sado-Kamdem et al. 2009).”
