摘要:
The present invention relates to a method to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submergible surface. The method contacts the submergible surface with an effective amount of at least one N-alkyl heterocyclic compound to inhibit bacterial adhesion to the submergible surface. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling biofouling of an aqueous system. This method adds an effective amount of at least one N-alkyl heterocyclic compound to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submerged surface within the aqueous system. This method effectively controls biofouling without substantially killing the fouling organisms. The N-alkyl heterocyclic compound used in the method of the invention has formula (I). The substituent R is C8-C20 alkyl group. The heterocyclic ring is a 5-8 membered heterocyclic ring where X is O, NH, or CH2. R is methyl, hydroxymethyl, or hydroxyethyl. The integer n ranges from 0 to 3. The present invention also relates to a composition containing N-alkyl heterocyclic compounds and usable in the above methods. The compositions comprise at least one N-alkyl heterocyclic compound in an amount effective to inhibit bacteria from adhering the submergible or submerged surfaces.

A method for increasing the effectiveness of a microbicide is described. In the method, a microbicide and an N-alkyl heterocyclic compound are applied to a substrate or aqueous system subject to the growth of microorganisms. The N-alkyl heterocyclic compound is applied in an amount effective to increase the microbicidal activity of the microbicide. The N-alkyl heterocyclic compound has formula (I). The variable 'n' ranges from 5 to 17, and the heterocyclic ring defined by (a) is a substituted or unsubstituted ring having four to eight members. Microbicidal compositions are described where the microbicide and the N-alkyl heterocyclic compound are present in a combined amount effective to control the growth of at least one microorganism. Methods for controlling the growth of microorganisms on various substrates and in various aqueous systems are also described. The combination of the microbicide and the N-alkyl heterocyclic compound is particularly useful as a microbicide in the leather industry, the lumber industry, the papermaking industry, the textile industry, the agricultural industry, and the coating industry, as well as in industrial process waters.
