The effect of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on the production of outer membrane vesicles from <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> and <i>Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron</i>.

Abstract

In conclusion we reported that palmitic acid had a stimulatory effect on the growth of <i>B. fragilis</i> and <i>B. thetaiotaomicron</i> and had a dose dependent effect on the production of <i>B. fragilis</i> OMVs. Also producing of <i>B. thetaiotaomicron</i> OMVs was affected by palmitoleic acid in a dose dependent manner.
