From: Variability of the response of human vaginal Lactobacillus crispatus to 17β-estradiol
Effect of 17β-estradiol (10–6, 10–8, and 10–10 M) on the affinity for solvents and Lewis acid/base surface properties of Lactobacillus crispatus V4. (A) Partition between water and chloroform, water and hexadecane, water and decane, and water and ethyl acetate. (B) Lewis acid/base behavior of L. crispatus V4 with the two solvent couples hexadecane (HD)/chloroform (CH) and decane (DE)/ethyl acetate (EA). Values are the means ± SEM of three independent studies (★p < 0.05, ★★p < 0.01).
