“…Avoiding now to discuss the realism of these behaviours, it can be pointed out that the response to lactic acid of some lactic acid bacteria seems to illustrate them, at least in their autoinhibitory modality [35]–[37].. Thus, the response to this acid of Leuconostoc mesenteroides [38] showed a profile –like that resulting from an enzymatic kinetics under substrate inhibition– which was described by including in the logistic equation a dose-depending term depressing the asymptotic value.…”

In systems with several effectors, the results of dose-response (DR) experiments are usually assessed by checking them against two hypotheses: independent action (IA) and concentration addition (CA). Both are useful simplifications, but do not represent the only possible responses, and avoid to a large extent the analysis of the interactions that are possible in the system. In addition, these are often applied in such a way that they produce insufficient descriptions of the problem that raises them, frequent inconclusive cases and doubtful decisions. In this work a generative approach is attempted, starting from some simple mechanisms necessarily underlying the response of an elementary biological entity to an effector agent. A set of simulations is formulated next through an equally simple system of logical rules, and several families of virtual responses are thus generated. These families include typical responses of IA and CA modes of action, other ones not less probable from a physiological point of view, and even other derived from common and expectable forms of interactions. The analysis of these responses enabled, firstly, to relate some phenomenological regularities with some general mechanistic principles, and to detect several causes by which the IA-CA dualism is necessarily ambiguous. Secondly, it allowed identifying different forms of synergy and antagonism that contribute to explain some controversial aspects of these notions. Finally, it led to propose two sets of explicit algebraic equations that describe accurately a wide diversity of possible and realistic responses.

“…Several studies describe the toxicity of BA to aquatic organisms ranging from bacteria to fish (e.g. Zhao, Ji, Cronin & Dearden 1998; Saha, Bhunia & Kaviraj 2006). Potassium sorbate is the salt of sorbic acid, which is also toxic to multiple aquatic organisms including fish, but lethal concentrations of sorbic acid for fishes are up to 6.5 times higher than those of BA (Koch 1994; Roth 1999).…”

“…It is well-known that PA can disrupt endocrine function and induce reproductive and developmental toxicity in laboratory animals [10]. Generally, BA is not considered clinically as a reproductive or developmental toxicant [11], but it was still revealed that the compound could affect the growth and reproduction of freshwater organisms [12] and sperm viability and the function of accessory gonad of exposed worker [13]. Although these aromatic compounds in PTA wastewater exhibit high reproductive toxicity, so far no report has been found to address the joint effects of these pollutants in the wastewater on reproductive system of mammals.…”
