(-)-Terpinen-4-ol perturbs membrane potential similar to CCCP. DiSC3 was added to mid log cells of K. pneumoniae BC1415 fluorescence (Ex 622 nm and Em 670 nm) was recorded until plateau. 0.5% glucose was added, and fluorescence was again monitored. (-)-Terpinen-4-ol and CCCP were added, which led to sudden decline in the fluorescence intensity. Ltr- Lactobacillus derived (-)-Terpinen-4-ol and Tr- Commercially procured (-)-Terpinen-4-ol. The experiment was performed in triplicates and the error bar represents standard error of the mean (n = 3).
