Abstract
(E)-3-tridecen-2-one, the major volatile component of interdigital gla nd extracts from the black-tailed deer, Odocaileus hemionus columbianu s, inhibited the growth of gram-positive bacteria and fungi. The bacte ria, Propionibacterium acnes, and the fungi, Trichophyton mentagrophyt es had a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12.5 mu g/mL and 25 mu g/mL, respectively.
