GROWTH OF SALMONELLA AT LOW pH

摘要

SUMMARYThe growth of salmonellae was observed to occur at pH values as low as 4.05 × 0.05. The growth‐limiting pH was dependent on several factors, most important the acid molecule itself. Additionally, the effect of temperature, relative oxygen supply and level of inoculum was studied. The salmonellae could not be “trained” to grow at a lower pH by sequential transfer at nearoptimum pH
