N2  - Several members of a novel class of w-substituted asymmetric bolaform surfactants have been synthesized in order to investigate their surfactant and biological properties. The &#969;-hydroxy trialkylammonium and pyridinium surfactants have significant antimicrobial and antifungal activity relative to their conventional analogues. For conventional quaternary ammonium alkyl surfactants, increasing the hydrocarbon chain length causes a decrease in the surfactant monomer solubility and a corresponding decrease in the biological activity. No such trend is observed for the &#969;-hydroxy quaternary ammonium bromide series.
