Effects of the Diethyl Ester of Pyrocarbonic Acid on Bacteriophage and Transforming DMA

THE synthesis of the diethyl-ester of pyrocarbonic acid (DEP) was first reported by Boehm and Metha 1 in 1938. Later, G. Hecht 2 observed that this compound had a strong bactericidal effect. It is also known that DEP rapidly decomposes in water into toxicologically indifferent products; carbon dioxi...
