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.

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne psychrotrophic pathogen that grows at refrigeration temperatures. Previous studies of fatty acid profiles of wild-type and cold-sensitive, branched-chain fatty acid deficient mutants of L. monocytogenes suggest that the fatty acid 12-methyltetradecanoic (anteiso-C(15:0)) plays a critical

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to produce surfactants that are involved in its swarming motility behavior, such as rhamnolipids and their precursors-3-(3-hydroxyalkanoyloxy)-alkanoic acids (HAAs). In P. aeruginosa PAO1, swarming motility is inhibited by some fatty acids, including branched-chain fatty acids and
