1-Undecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol and natural flavoring agent that exhibits antimicrobial activity through the disruption of microbial cell membrane integrity. Treatment with 1-undecanol alters membrane permeability and fluidizes lipid bilayers, resulting in cell lysis and growth inhibition of bacterial pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans. These membrane-perturbing properties compromise cellular viability and bacterial survival. [1]

Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
