2-Mercaptoethanol applied to the surface of agar medium had a selective antibacterial effect on Propionibacterium acnes and Propionibacterium granulosum without interfering with the growth of Peptococcus saccharolyticus or staphylococci in anaerobic cultures of skin or in pure cultures. In aerobic broth culture, 2-mercaptoethanol inhibited aerobes and stimulated anaerobes, consistent with its action as a reducing agent.
将2-巯基乙醇应用于琼脂培养基表面，对痤疮丙酸杆菌和颗粒丙酸杆菌具有选择性抗菌作用，而在皮肤厌氧培养物或纯培养物中，不会干扰解糖消化球菌或葡萄球菌的生长。在需氧肉汤培养中，2-巯基乙醇抑制需氧菌并刺激厌氧菌，这与其作为还原剂的作用一致。
