Type of article: Article

Summary

SHRIMP WERE ALLOWED TO DECOMPOSE AT 273, 278.6, 284.1, 289.7 AND 295.2 K (0, 5.6, 11.1, 16.7 AND 22.2 DEG C). THE MOST RAPID GROWTH WAS OBTAINED AT THE HIGHER TEMPERATURES BUT THE HIGHEST MAXIMUM POPULATION WAS OBTAINED AT 273 K. A TOTAL OF 638 BACTERIA WERE ISOLATED. THE HETEROGENOUS POPULATION AT DAY 0 WAS COMPOSED OF 38% GRAM POSITIVES. THE POPULATION CHANGED BECOMING PREDOMINANTLY GRAM NEGATIVE BY DAY 13. AT THE HIGHER TEMPERATURES THE INDOLE PRODUCING PROTEUS EMERGED BY DAY 7. VOLATILE BASE AND INDOLE INCREASED BOTH WITH INCREASING TIME AND TEMPERATURE DURING STORAGE.
