Summary

Deinococci with radiation resistance greater than that of Deinococcus radiophilus (ATCC 27603) were isolated from three commercial oyster extracts stored at 4, 20 and 30 °C. During storage the number of other bacteria declined and deinococci became the predominant group in the microflora, particularly at 20 °C, although at 30 °C the number of deinococci as well rapidly declined. The results suggest that the natural habitat of deinococci is an aerobic environment containing a slightly elevated saline content, soluble protein, and low sugar levels.
