Figure 5

Surfactant activity assessed in the pulsating bubble surfactometer (upper panels) and the capillary surfactometer (lower panels). The large aggregate (LA) surfactant fraction was recombined with the appropriate small aggregates (SA) of surfactant, demonstrating significant inhibitory activity (left side panels). This inhibitory activity of SA was not dependent on its amount, i.e. was not the sole determinate of surface activity (right side panels). Comparisons by Mann-Whitney test and correlations by Spearman rank test.
