Type of article: Article

Summary

THE RESPONSE OF SALMONELLA ENTERIDITIS WAS EXAMINED ON EXPOSURE TO A COMBINATION TREATMENT OF POTASSIUM SORBATE AND MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE AT 283K (10 DEG C). ATMOSPHERES WERE 100%, 60% AND 20% CO2; VACUUM AND AN AIR CONTROL. THE ORGANISMS WERE EXPOSED TO THESE ATMOSPHERES ON TRYPTIC SOY AGAR CONTAINING 0.0, 0.5, 1.5 OR 2.5% POTASSIUM SORBATE AT PH 6.5, 6.0 OR 5.5. IN THE ABSENCE OF SORBATE, THE 100% CO2 ATMOSPHERE INHIBITED GROWTH; THE VACUUM AND 20 AND 60% CO2 ATMOSPHERES WERE STIMULATORY. IN COMBINATION WITH SORBATE, ALL ATMOSPHERES WERE INHIBITORY.
