Summary

INOCULATED SAMPLES WERE PACKAGED UNDER AIR, VACUUM, OR A COMMERCIAL MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE (MA), WITH A GAS MIX OF 80% CO2 AND NO O2. THROUGHOUT 6 D OF INCUBATION AT EITHER 275 AND 281 K (2 AND 8 DEG C): A. HYDROPHILA, OR 281, 284 AND 287 K (8, 11 AND 14 DEG C): P. SHIGELLOIDES, SAMPLES WERE ANALYZED AT 2 D INTERVALS FOR POPULATION OF THE INOCULUM SPECIES. SLIGHT GROWTH OF A. HYDROPHILA OCCURRED DURING AIR-AND VACUUM-STORAGE AT 275 K. NO GROWTH OCCURRED DURING 275 K MA STORAGE. AT 281 K, VACUUM AND MA STORAGE CAUSES NEARLY EQUAL INHIBITION OF A. HYDROPHILA GROWTH. P. SHIGELLOIDES DID NOT GROW AT 281 K UNDER ANY TREATMENT. AT 284 K, MA STORAGE EFFECTIVELY PREVENTED GROWTH OF P. SHIGELLOIDES, WHILE VACUUM STORAGE WAS SLIGHTLY LESS INHIBITORY. VACUUM STORAGE DID NOT DETER GROWTH OF P. SHIGELLOIDES AT 287 K, BUT MA STORAGE HAD A MINOR INHIBITORY EFFECT.
