Application of an interspecific competition model to predict the growth of Aeromonas hydrophila on fish surfaces during the refrigerated storage
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth of Aeromonas hydrophila and aerobic natural flora (APC) on gilthead seabream surfaces was evaluated during the refrigerated storage (21 days). The related growth curves were compared with those obtained by a conventional third order predictive model obtaining a low agreement between observed and predicted data (Root Mean Squared Error = 1.77 for Aeromonas hydrophila and 0.64 for APC). The Lotka-Volterra interspecific competition model was used in order to calculate the degree of interaction between the two bacterial populations (β Ah/APC and β APC/Ah , respectively, the interspecific competition coefficients of APC on Aeromonas hydrophila and vice-versa). Afterwards, the Lotka-Volterra equations were applied as tertiary predictive model, taking into account, simultaneously, the environmental fluctuations and the bacterial interspecific competition. This approach allowed to obtain a best fitting to the observed mean growth curves with a Root Mean Squared Error of 0.09 for Aeromonas hydrophila and 0.28 for APC. Finally, authors carry out some considerations about the necessary use of competitive models in the context of the new trends in predictive microbiology.

Determination of minimum inhibitory concentration of the ethanolic extract of orange peel and the effects on the growth inhibition of Huso huso filet bacteria during refrigerated storage
Using natural extracts, as a source of anti-microbial, to improve the quality of fish is increasing. In this study, the ethanolic extract of orange (Citrus sinensis L.) was used due to having this property. Agar dilution method was employed in order to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the ethanolic extract of orange peel on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli and Aeromonas hy...

In the present study, 7% silver-low-density thin polyethylene films were successfully prepared through the melt mixing method. These films were applied to reduce the harmful antibacterial properties of Huso huso fillets at refrigeration temperatures, thus extending their shelf life. The total viable bacteria count for H. huso fillets wrapped in a 7% Ag/LDPE nanocomposite was 3.04±2.43 (log CFU/...

Bacterial diseases in cultured fish are considered the main problem with aquaculture system in Iran. The gills are multifunctional organs responsible for respiration, osmoregulation, nitrogenous waste excretion, and acid-base balance. Moreover, they are very sensitive to water contamination. Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) is an opportunist pathogen responsible for ...
