12-Methyltetradecanoic acid (12-methylmyristic acid) is an anteiso-C(15)-fatty acid used in studies on the properties and functions of medium-chain anteiso-fatty acids. 12-methyltetradecanoic acid is studied to understand its antibacterial properties. 12-methyltetradecanoic acid represses the extracellular production of surfactants required for swarming motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1.

Branched-chain fatty acids or fatty alcohols have been reported to possess anti-tumor activity in various tumor models. Here we study 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (12-MTA), a branched-chain fatty acid, isolated from a sea cucumber extract, on the growth of prostate cancer cells

Corneal vascularisation is a potentially devastating occurrence that can cause blindness. Currently, treatments for this condition are limited. In these studies, we have investigated a novel inhibitor of angiogenesis, 12-methyl tetradecanoic acid (12-MTA), to treat corneal vascularisation in mouse models

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of moving by swimming, swarming, and twitching motilities. In this study, we investigated the effects of fatty acids on Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 motilities. A branched-chain fatty acid (BCFA)--12-methyltetradecanoic acid (anteiso-C15:0)--has slightly repressed flagella-driven swimming motility and

Xylella fastidiosa (X.f.) is a plant pathogen with high levels of genomic similarity to Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (X.c.c.). It has been shown that X. fastidiosa synthesizes a putative diffusible signal factor (X.f.-DSF) that activates regulation of pathogenicity factor (rpf)
