Summary.
We examine the effects of aquatic toxicity on Daphnia magna, the antimicrobial activity of new anionic lysine-derivative surfactants, and the influence of different-sized counterions associated with the surfactants. Surfactants with Tris and Lithium had less of a toxic effect on Daphnia, while all surfactants proved highly active against yeasts and the gram-negative bacteria Bordetella bronchiseptica. Counterion size was found to have no effect on aquatic toxicity or antimicrobial activity.
