Summary

THE EFFECT OF 80% CO2 ON THE SURVIVAL AND GROWTH OF MICROORGANISMS WAS COMPARED TO AIR AT 275, 280 AND 286 K (2, 7 AND 13 DEG C). THE CO2 ATMOSPHERE SUBSTANTIALLY RETARDED THE GROWTH OF THE TOTAL BACTERIAL LOAD IN UNINOCULATED GROUND CHICKEN MEAT AND PARTSAT ALL TEMPERATURES WHEN COMPARED TO AIR ; HOWEVER, TEMPERATURE HAD A LARGER OVERALL EFFECT THAN ATMOSPHERE. GROUND CHICKEN MEAT AND SYNTHETIC BROTH WERE INOCULATED WITH PSEUDOMONAS FRAGI, SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM, STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS OR CLOSTRIDIUM SPOROGENES. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CL SPOROGENES, 80% CO2 WAS INHIBITORY WHEN COMPARED TO AIR.
