Hydroxyalkylammonium salts of organylsulfanyl(sulfonyl)acetic acids—New stimulators of biological processes

The article gives a survey of methods of synthesis and specific biological activity of hydroxyalkylammonium salts derived from organylsulfanyl(sulfinyl, sulfonyl)acetic acids which can be used as growth stimulators with respect to beneficial bacteria, yeasts, and fungi in large-scale biotechnology processes for manufacture of fodder and baker’s yeasts and citric acid, barley sprouting for the preparation of brewer’s malt, and breeding of silkworms.
