Summary

A group of 80 Pseudomonas spp. strains isolated from raw milk shortly after milking was compared to another group of 81 obtained from the same sample after incubating it at 7 deg C for 3 days. Comparison of both collections of strains included growth rates at 7 and 21 deg C and production of extracellular proteinase, lipase, and siderophores. The strains selected after cold incubation showed an average 10-fold higher growth rate at 7 deg C, 1,000-fold more proteolytic activity, and 280-fold more lipolytic activity than those found before the incubation. At 21 deg C, however, they grew half as quickly as the strains isolated before the incubation.
