Abstract
n ‐Propanol was the most effective solvent for extracting antibacterial substances from olive oil mill waste water (‘alpechines’). Several phenolics were detected in propanol extracts that had bactericidal effects on Bacillus megaterium ATCC 33085, inhibiting sporulation and germination at 5.6 mmol/l total phenolics (expressed as syringic acid). The biological effect was increased in the presence of high glucose and NaCl concentrations and after β‐glucosidase hydrolysis.Keywords
