Mineralization and heat resistance of bacterial spores.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The heat resistances of the fully demineralized H-form spores of Bacillus megaterium ATCC 19213, B. subtilis var. niger, and B. stearothermophilus ATCC 7953 were compared with those of vegetative cells and native spores to assess the components of resistance due to the mineral-free spore state, presumably mainly from dehydration of the spore core, and to mineralization. Mineralization greatly increased heat resistance at lower killing temperatures but appeared to have much less effect at higher ones.

Heat resistance of bacterial spores correlated with protoplast dehydration, mineralization, and thermal adaptation.
Twenty-eight types of lysozyme-sensitive spores among seven Bacillus species representative of thermophiles, mesophiles, and psychrophiles were obtained spanning a 3,000-fold range in moist-heat resistance. The resistance within species was altered by demineralization of the native spores to protonated spores and remineralization of the protonated spores to calcified spores and by thermal adapt...
متن کاملChemical states of bacterial spores: dry-heat resistance.
Mature bacterial spores can be manipulated by chemical pretreatments between states sensitive and resistant to dry heat. The two chemical forms of the spore differ in dry-heat resistance by about an order of magnitude. Log survivor curves for each chemical state were approximately straight lines. The temperature dependence of dry-heat resistance for each chemical state was similar to that usual...
متن کاملCombined effects on heat and radiation in food sterilization.
Ionizing radiations are not presently used for sterilizing foods because undesirable flavor changes and other adverse effects often result at the required dosage levels. Morgani and Reed (1954) have showin that preliminary exposure to such radiations lowers the resistance of some bacterial spores to the lethal action of subsequent heat treatment. However, no work has been presented to indicate ...
متن کاملInfluence of Long Chain Free Fatty Acids on the Thermal Resistance Reduction of Bacterial Spores
Aims: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of free fatty acid length chain and unsaturated bond number on the heat resistance and recovery media of bacterial spores. Methods and results: For 6 species, bacterial spore heat resistances were estimated at different free fatty acid concentrations added to heating media or in recovery media. The addition of free fatty acids to h...
متن کاملHeat Resistance and Population Stability of Lyophilized Bacillus subtilis Spores.
Bacillus subtilis 5230 spores were lyophilized in 0.067 M phosphate buffer and stored at 2 to 8 degrees C for 9 to 27 months. The lyophilized spores were reconstituted with buffer or 0.9% saline, and the heat resistance was determined in a thermoresistometer. Lyophilization had no effect on the heat resistance of the spores but did result in a slight decrease in population (</=0.3-logarithm red...
