because m. diernhoferi atcc 19340 ( indicator strain for smegmatocin ) is highly susceptible to oleic acid and smegmatocin requires tween 80 for manifestation of its anti-m. diernhoferi activity , it is likely that smegmatocin-mediated antimicrobial action is caused by oleic acid generated by hydrolysis of tween 80 by the inherent esterase action of smegmatocin .
