Interaction of pH and NaCl on culture density of Clostridium botulinum 62A.
نویسنده
چکیده
Clostridium botulinum 62A growth rates declined with decreasing pH and increasing salt levels. Lysis rates, however, were affected only by pH. Due to competition between growth and lysis rates, an accurate assessment of interactive effects was obtained only when optical density determinations were made at multiple intervals.

Chemical manipulation of the heat resistance of Clostridium botulinum spores.
The chemical forms of Clostridium botulinum 62A and 213B were prepared, and their heat resistances were determined in several heating media, including some low-acid foods. The heat resistance of C. botulinum spores can be manipulated up and down by changing chemical forms between the resistant calcium form and the sensitive hydrogen form. The resistant chemical form of type B spores has about t...
متن کاملNisin Resistance in Clostridium botulinum Spores and Vegetative Cells.
The frequencies at which vegetative cells and spores of Clostridium botulinum strains 56A, 62A, 17409A, 25763A, 213B, B-aphis, and 169B formed colonies on agar media containing 0, 10(sup2), 10(sup3), and 10(sup4) IU of nisin per ml at 30(deg)C were determined. Strain 56A had the highest frequencies of nisin resistance, while strains 62A, 169B, and B-aphis had the lowest. For most strains, spore...
متن کاملDependence of Clostridium botulinum gas and protease production on culture conditions.
Reports that Clostridium botulinum toxin can sometimes be detected in the absence of indicators of overt spoilage led to a systematic study of this phenomenon in a model system. Media with various combinations of pH (5.0 to 7.0) and glucose (0.0 to 1.0%) were inoculated with vegetative cells of C. botulinum 62A and incubated anaerobically at 35 degrees C. Although growth and toxin production oc...

Growth behavior of Clostridium botulinum type E beluga was studied in Acipenser persicus granular caviar treated with 5% NaCl, 5%NaCl plus 0.3% boric acid and 0.4%borax and 5%NaCl plus 0.15% methyl paraben incubated at temperatures -2, 5 and 15 °C for 224 days. The initial number of inoculated bacterial spore was 5.1×104 cfu/g caviar in each treated sample. The number of bacterial spores in sam...
متن کاملClostridium botulinum EXPRESSION OF A GENE ENCODING A BACTERIOCIN ACTIVE AGAINST CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM
Boticin B is a bacteriocin produced by Clostridium botulinum strain 213B that inhibits growth of some C. botulinum strains and certain other clostridial species (Yu, 1998). Cloning and sequencing of the gene encoding boticin B were previously described in the FRI 1998 Annual Report (p. 18). DNA sequencing revealed an open reading frame (ORF) containing 50 amino acids with a calculated molecular...
