Detergents contain a hydrophobic hydrocarbon structure and a hydrophilic group which may be anionic, cationic, or neutral. Detergents form stable emulsions and are capable of trapping lipid-soluble materials in the interior of the hydrophobic portion of the miscelles. Application of the knowledge of detergents to the discipline of microbiology would provide interesting and accurate data for further studies.
