Summary

An analysis of a mustard grain hot-water extract, showing a strong stimulating activity. The yellow crystals responsible for this activity are identified as 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetic acid. The addition of a purified preparation of this compound at the rates of 0.1 to 1 ppm in a culture medium favours the ice nucleation activity of X. campestris. This is of a definite interest for studying the use of Xanthomonas in order to optimize freeze-drying or freezing processes.
