Characterization of Bacillus species isolated from spoiled ultrahigh temperature processed milk

Sixteen strains of Bacillus were isolated from a total of nine spoiled ultra high temperature processed milks. They closely resembled strains of b. subtilis and B. cereus . However, most were atypical in one or more biochemical or physiological traits. Spore crops were prepared from four of the isol...

Description
Summary:Sixteen strains of Bacillus were isolated from a total of nine spoiled ultra high temperature processed milks. They closely resembled strains of b. subtilis and B. cereus . However, most were atypical in one or more biochemical or physiological traits. Spore crops were prepared from four of the isolates, and their thermoresistance was determined. All strains isolated were mesophilic with temperature optima between 37 and 45 degree C. Two strains could grow at 10 degree C, but none could grow at 5 degree C or 60 degree C.
