GROWTH SUPPRESSION OF PSEUDOMONADS BY GLUCOSE UTILIZATION

摘要

ABSTRACTThe effect of glucose on growth of two Shewan's group II pseudo‐monads was studied. Concentration of 05–10 glucose by weight in nutrient broth effected a decrease in growth lag and growth level. The pH of the growth medium decreased by as much as two units within the first 2 days of incubation. Glucose utilization and acid production increased with increase in glucose concentration. These results support previous observations in meat of increased carbohydrate utilization and lowered pH, resulting in suppressed bacterial growth and delayed spoilage in the presence of added gluc
