ShareModelling the growth of Pseudomonas fluorescens as a function of temperature and carbon dioxide.
Author(s) : WILLOCX F., MERCIER M., HENDRICKX M., TOBBACK P.
Summary
Pseudomonas fluorescens was chosen as an indicator microorganism for spoilage of ready-to-eat or Grade IV leafy vegetables. The effect of the extrinsic storage conditions (temperature and carbon dioxide concentration) upon the growth in a model system were studied. The bacterial growth curve was described with the Logistic and Gompertz equation. In a temperature range of 4 to 12 deg C the lag time of P. fluorescens showed an exponential dependence with temperature, whereas a linear relationship of the maximum absolute growth rate with temperature was observed. Relations of concentration of CO2 and Pseudomonas growth are described.
