Modelling Bacillus cereus growth.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to model the growth, in a model system, of toxigenic strains of Bacillus cereus as a function of temperature, pH and water activity. Optical density (OD) values were transformed into numbers of colony-forming units (CFU) by the use of a 'calibrating' relation. The growth curves were then fitted to the Gompertz function which allowed the estimation of the lag-time (lambda) and the growth rate (mu). These two parameters were then modelled according to the controlling factors which were pH and water activity at 20 and 30 degrees C.

Objective High concentration of iron and other trace elements could restrict bacterial growth and modify their metabolic pattern as well. However, this study aimed to find out the influence of iron, chromium, cadmium and synergism or antagonism between these elements on the growth of a gram positive bacterium. Materials and Methods In a series of experiments, Bucillus cereus was cultured in a n...

متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Bacillus cereus C1L, a Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterium from the Rhizosphere of Formosa Lily in Taiwan
Bacillus cereus C1L, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium, provides protection against fungal pathogens in monocot plants. To gain new insights into the biocontrol mechanisms used by this rhizobacterium, we determined the complete genome sequence of B. cereus C1L. One chromosome and three plasmids were identified with a total size of ~6.0 Mb.
