title: (E)-3-tridecen-2-one, an antibiotic from the interdigital glands of black-tailed deer Odocoileus hemionus columbianus.
abstract: (E)-3-tridecen-2-one, the major volatile component of interdigital gland extracts from the black-tailed deer, Odocoileus hemionus columbianus, inhibited the growth of gram-positive bacteria and fungi. The bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes, and the fungi, Trichophyton mentagrophytes had a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12.5 micrograms/mL and 25 micrograms/mL, respectively.
