The ethanol extract from the root bark of Mores alba showed the strongest antimicrobial activity on the growth of almost all the tested microorganisms which were foodborne pathogens d food-related microorganiama. Therefore, fatty acid composition, amino acid composition and shape change of microorganisms treated with the ethanol extract from the root bark of Mores alba were examined. In effects of treatment with the ethanol extract on the fatty acid compositions of B. aubtilis, S. aureus and E. coli, fatty aicd compositions such as hexadecanoic acid (16:0) and octadecanoic acid (18:0)/octadecadienoic acid (18:2) of the tested strains were increased but pentadecanoic acid (15:0), heptadecanoic acid (17:0) and octadecenoic acid (18:1) of E. subtilis, pentadecanoic acid (15:0) of S. ctureus and hexadecenoic acid (16:1) and octadecenoic acid (18:1) of E. coli were decreased. The ethanol extract did not significantly affect the amino acid composition of the tested strains. Tranamisaion electron micrographa of microorganisms treated with the ethanol extract exhibited morphological changes that irregularly contracted cell surface in S. aureus and destructed cell walls in B. subtilis and E. coli.
