SUMMARY: When 108 samples of individual farm milk supplies were held at 3—5° for 72 hr, 35·2% showed increases in coli-aerogenes organisms of over one-hundredfold and 10·2% increases of more than one-thousandfold. The coli-aerogenes microflora after refrigeration was dominated by Klebsiella cloacae and K. aerogenes I. While some strains of all the coli-aerogenes types isolated showed growth, though sometimes scanty, on yeast-dextrose agar in 5 days at 3—5°, the majority of the strains of K. cloacae showed luxuriant growth under these conditions and can be considered as typical facultative psychrophiles of milk. 相似文献

Survival of Vibrio cholerae El Tor serotype Inaba was examined in pasteurized milk, freshwater fish, raw beef and raw chicken at a variety of temperatures. Both food type and incubation temperature affected survival. At the lowest temperatures, V. cholerae remained viable in meats for up to 90 d at—5°C and 300 d at —25°C. In milk, however, it was not detectable after 34 d at —5°C and 150 d at —25°C. At 7°C it survived 32 d, on average, in milk and only 18–20 d in the other foods. At room temperatures survival periods were shorter, never exceeding 10 d, and it was not detected after 2 d incubation at 35°C in chicken and fish. 相似文献

SUMMARY: A field-scale experiment carried out in Wales and the West Midlands, in which the temperature-compensated clot-on-boiling (C.O.B.) test of Rowlands & Hosking (1951) was applied to 11,626 samples of designated milk, morning, mixed and evening milk, gave proportions of failures in the ratio 1:2:3 respectively. Despite temperature compensation, failures varied according to atmospheric temperature from c. 50% at 72°F. or more to 10% at 56°F. or less and averaged 20% during the summer and 7% during the six winter months.
No marked differences were noted between the keeping qualities of tuberculin tested or accredited milk. During the winter no difference was found between producer-wholesaler and producer-retailer supplies, but the latter had a higher proportion of failures of evening and mixed milks during the summer.
In a set of 8,297 samples examined in addition by the methylene blue and coli-aerogenes tests, the C.O.B. test gave a lower incidence of failures than either the methylene blue or combined methylene blue and coli-aerogenes tests throughout almost the entire year. It is suggested that a temperature-compensated C.O.B. test is practicable as a routine procedure. 相似文献

Sublethal injury to Escherichia coli , measured as the inability of surviving cells to grow on media containing bile salts, was monitored during frozen storage on meat at —5, —10 and —20° C. More rapid increases in injury occurred at the higher subzero temperatures and log phase cells were more susceptible than those in the stationary phase of growth. Repair of injury in non-selective liquid media took between 2 and 6 h at 25° and was often accompanied by an increase in total viable count. Incubation for a fixed period in broth was, therefore, unsuitable for the quantitative recovery of freeze-injured Esch. coli. Resuscitation on membrane filters avoided confusing repair of injury with multiplication of uninjured or repaired cells. The mean recovery of injured cells following incubation on membranes for 4 h at 35°C on tryptone soya agar, was 94%. 相似文献

Cells of Streptococcus lactis were harvested in the early stationary phase, washed, and resuspended in either skim milk (10% nonfat milk) or buffered distilled water (0.0003 m dipotassium phosphate, pH 7.2). Samples of each suspension were frozen and stored at -20 C for intervals up to 28 days. Colony counts of the frozen culture were made using lactic agar and a “restricted” lactic agar medium (Tryptone reduced to 0.5%) to determine injury and death. Death was determined by the difference in plate counts on lactic agar before and after freezing. Injured cells were determined by the difference in plate counts on the two plating media. Greatest injury of the cells occurred during early stages of frozen storage and decreased with time, and death continuously increased. Injury and death were more pronounced when cells were frozen in water than when frozen in 10% nonfat milk solids. Certain cultures survived better when frozen rapidly, whereas with others survival was greater when freezing was slow. Successive freezing, thawing, and propagation of the culture gradually eliminated cells which showed injury by freezing. 相似文献

Production and storage of Rhizobium leguminosarum cell concentrates for use as inoculants 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Recovery of Rhizobium leguminosarum cells by centrifugation after growth in an industrial fermenter was 100-fold higher when cells were grown on yeast extract (5 g/1) as sole source of carbon and nitrogen when compared with the yields recovered when cells were grown in standard mannitol-yeast extract medium. Methods of storing concentrated suspensions of R. leguminosarum were investigated. Freeze-drying caused a marked decrease in viable cell numbers. Viable cell numbers of bacterial concentrates stored in peat decreased steadily from 1011 -1012 cfu/g to 109 cfu/g or less during 26 weeks storage at room temperature or at 4°C. Cell concentrates stored in 40% glycerol at — 20°C maintained viable numbers higher than 1011 cfu/ml during a 76 week storage period. 相似文献

Cows' milk was inoculated with ca 103 and 107 cfu/ml Listeria monocytogenes. After fermentation at 42°C for 0–5 h, the yogurt was stored at 4°C. Low and high inocula survived for 48 h and 7 d, respectively; L. monocytogenes cells were not detectable by direct plating or cold-enrichment after 5 and 15 d, respectively. In low inoculum samples, initial pH at the time of refrigeration was 4·9; the final pH at the time of last sampling was 4·2. In the samples with high inoculum the pH decreased from 5·0 to 4·2. 相似文献

Relationship between variations in pathogenicity and lag phase at 37°C of Listeria monocytogenes previously stored at 4°C 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
s. BUNCIC AND S.M. AVERY. 1996. Three haemolytic, pathogenic strains of Listeria monocytogenes (a reference strain, a food-derived strain and a human strain) were held at 4°C for 4 weeks in phosphate-buffered saline pH 5.5 or 7.0, with and without 0.2% potassium sorbate or 0.3% sodium acetate. The number of viable cells did not change significantly during this storage. Pathogenicity of non-growing L. monocytogenes cells for 14-d-old chick embryos was determined before and after storage. Storage at 4°C resulted in decreased pathogenicity, but effects were strain-, pH- and substrate-dependent. After 4 weeks storage at 4°C non-growing bacterial cells were transferred to Brain Heart Infusion broth and growth characteristics were determined during incubation at 37°C. Strains that showed decreased pathogenicity had significantly longer lag phases at 37°C than strains that maintained pathogenicity. It is concluded that decreased pathogenicity of L. monocytogenes stored without growth at 4°C for 4 weeks and subsequent long lag phase at 37°C are correlated. 相似文献

Effects of sample handling temperatures on bovine skim milk progesterone concentrations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of incubation of whole milk at various temperatures and times on the concentration of progesterone in the skim milk fraction was determined. For the study, milk samples were collected from 10 pregnant Holstein cows. The milk from each cow was transferred to culture tubes to provide 32 replicates of 3 ml volume. To begin the incubation study, all samples were placed in a 37 degrees C water bath for 4 h. The end of this incubation was designated as time 0 and a sample from each cow was centrifuged to harvest skim milk. At time 0, samples from each cow were divided among incubation temperatures of 0 degrees, 4 degrees, 20 degrees and 37 degrees C. Samples were removed from each incubation group at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min. After 120 min, all remaining samples were returned to the 37 degrees C incubation and skim milk was collected at 30, 60 and 90 min. Progesterone was measured in skim milk by radioimmunoassay. The mean +/- SE concentration of progesterone in skim milk at time 0 was 10.9 +/- 1.1 nmol/L. The mean concentration of progesterone in skim milk was higher (P < 0.05) in all samples incubated at 0 degrees and 4 degrees C, with incremental increases ranging from 34% to 67% above time 0. Progesterone in skim milk returned to time 0 concentrations in milk samples transferred from 0 degrees or 4 degrees C to 37 degrees C. There was no change in skim milk progesterone in whole milk samples incubated at 20 degrees or 37 degrees C. From this study, it can be concluded that the concentration of progesterone in skim milk is temperature dependent. Inconsistency in handling whole milk samples can have a profound effect in the concentration of progesterone on skim milk. The temperature-dependent effect was reversible and may be related to solubility of progesterone in milk fat. 相似文献

In order to minimize the denaturation of proteins in milk, normal cow's milk was pasteurized at 61 C for 20 min. The protective effects of the thus prepared skim milk (low-heat skim milk) on exogenous and endogenous infection were examined as compared with conventional skim milk which was pasteurized at 121 C for 2 sec. The antibody titers to Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli of low-heat skim milk were almost equal to that of raw milk, while no antibody was detected in the conventional skim milk. When mice were given low-heat skim milk or conventional skim milk, the incidence of the translocation of orally inoculated Listeria monocytogenes to the spleen was lower in the low-heat skim milk group than that in the conventional skim milk group. The life span of 7 Gy X-ray irradiated mice given low-heat skim milk was significantly prolonged in comparison to that of mice given conventional skim milk. However, there were no differences in the number of bacteria in the feces or IgA production by Peyer's patch cells between the two groups. These results suggest that antibodies in low-heat skim milk, which still have reactivity to exogenous or indigenous bacteria, may contribute to the protective effects against bacterial infection. 相似文献

Partial purification and characterization of phospholipase C from Yersinia enterocolitica 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
S. TOORA GAGANDEEP SINGH S. DHAR A.D. SINGH R.P. TIWARI G. SINGH 《Journal of applied microbiology》1989,66(4):303-309
About 34% of the strains of Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from raw milk were found to produce lecithinase. A selected strain produced phospholipase C at 22°C and 37°C; production was optimum at 37°C in the stationary phase (14–16 h). A decrease in phospholipase C activity at various storage temperatures (—5°C, 4°C, 37°C) was also observed, although the enzyme was active over a wide range of temperature (5–65°C) and pH (3mD5–7mD5). The phospholipase C was partially purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation and Sephadex column chromatography, and characterized. 相似文献

Mature green tomato fruit ( Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Caruso) were stored at 1°C or 20°C and analyzed on day 0, 18 and 22 for electrolyte leakage, ripening-associated changes in pigmentation and phospholipid fatty acid composition. Chilled fruit were also analyzed 4 days after they were returned to 20°C. Fruit did not ripen significantly during chilling and subsequent storage at 20°C, and showed visible chilling injury symptoms only at 20°C. Electrolyte leakage increased in control and chilled fruit, indicating enhanced membrane permeability during both ripening and chilling. Returning the fruit to ambient temperature gave an apparent decrease in electrolyte leakage. Phospholipid and linolenic acid content and double bond index decreased during ripening at 20°C. The small changes in phospholipid fatty acid composition during chilling cannot account for the enhanced membrane permeability. The significant decrease in percentage of linolenic acid and in double bond index in the total lipids, but not in the phospholipids, upon returning the fruit to 20°C suggests loss of galactolipid polyunsaturated fatty acids 相似文献

Seminal plasma is generally removed from equine spermatozoa prior to cryopreservation. Two experiments were designed to determine if adding seminal plasma back to spermatozoa, prior to cryopreservation, would benefit the spermatozoa. Experiment 1 determined if different concentrations of seminal plasma affected post-thaw sperm motility, viability and acrosomal integrity of frozen/thawed stallion spermatozoa. Semen was washed through 15% Percoll to remove seminal plasma and spermatozoa resuspended to 350 x 10(6)sperm/mL in a clear Hepes buffered diluent containing either 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80% seminal plasma for 15 min, prior to being diluted to a final concentration of 50 x 10(6)sperm/mL in a Lactose-EDTA freezing diluent and cryopreserved. Sperm motility was analyzed at 10 and 90 min after thawing, while sperm viability and acrosomal integrity were analyzed 20 min after thawing. Seminal plasma did not affect sperm motility, viability or acrosomal integrity (P>0.05). Experiment 2 tested the main affects of seminal plasma level (5 or 20%), incubation temperature (5 or 20 degrees C) and incubation time (2, 4 or 6 h) prior to cryopreservation. In this experiment, spermatozoa were incubated with 5 or 20% seminal plasma for up to 6h at either 5 or 20 degrees C prior to cryopreservation in a skim milk, egg yolk freezing extender. Samples cooled immediately to 5 degrees C, prior to freezing had higher percentages of progressively motile spermatozoa than treatments incubated at 20 degrees C (31 versus 25%, respectively; P<0.05), when analyzed 10 min after thawing. At 90 min post-thaw, total motility was higher for samples incubated at 5 degrees C (42%) compared to 20 degrees C (35%; P<0.05). In addition, samples containing 5% seminal plasma had higher percentages of total and progressively motile spermatozoa (45 and 15%) than samples exposed to 20% seminal plasma (33 and 9%; P<0.05). In conclusion, although the short-term exposure of sperm to seminal plasma had no significant effect on the motility of cryopreserved equine spermatozoa, prolonged exposure to seminal plasma, prior to cryopreservation, was deleterious. 相似文献

Similar populations of Pseudomonas fragi were grown at 25 C for 20 hr or at 7 C for 7 days in milk containing 0, 10, and 20% fat; they were then heated at 48, 50, and 52 C in milk containing 0, 10, and 20% fat. After inoculation, the heating medium contained 2.1 x 10(6) to 6.9 x 10(6) organisms per milliliter. The P. fragi cells grown in skim milk had greater thermal resistance (D(52) = 3.0 to 3.1) than those grown in milk containing fat (D(52) = 1.9 to 2.5). The organisms grown at 7 C for 7 days in milk containing 10% fat were more resistant (D(52) = 3.0) than those grown in the same medium at 25 C for 20 hr (D(52) = 2.0). The presence of 0 to 20% milk fat in the heating medium had no apparent effect on the thermal resistance. 相似文献

Production and survival during storage of spray-dried Bradyrhizobium japonicum cell concentrates 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Production of Bradyrhizobium japonicum cell concentrates by spray-drying in skim milk plus sucrose medium and the feasability of storing dried inocula over long periods were investigated. Storage of spray-dried cells under mild vacuum was equivalent to storage under nitrogen. Oxygen and ambient temperature were found detrimental for survival of dried cells. High initial cell concentration and storage under low relative humidities (< 23% RH) at 4°C increased the longevity of the inocula (> 109 cfu g-1 during at least a 25 week storage period) without altering the symbiotic properties of B. japonicum. 相似文献

The endoparasitic nematophagous fungus, Esteya vermicola, is a bio-control agent with demonstrated ability to attack pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus). An optimized solution for the protection and preservation of E. vermicola conidia is needed in order to ensure their survival during transportation, preservation, and application. Five protectants, kaolin, arabinose, sorbitol, PEG8000, and Span 80, were selected from 34 agents. These were incorporated into calcium alginate gel capsules at the following concentrations: 10% kaolin, 0.1% Span 80, 1% arabinose, 5% sorbitol, and 5% PEG8000. The improved diffluent formula contained 69.9% soluble starch, 14% wheat flour, 5% PEG8000, 0.1% span 80, 1% arabinose and 10% skim milk. The viability of E. vermicola conidia preserved in the protectant (5% sorbitol and 20% PEG8000) at six temperatures,–70,–20, 4, 26, 37°C, and room temperature (uncontrolled), was also assessed. The highest viability after storage for one month was achieved at–70°C. 相似文献

SUMMARY: Incubation at 30° and 37° for the presumptive coli-aerogenes test for raw and pasterurized milk has been investigated. There were more positives at the lower temperature and it is suggested that in this test, incubation at 30° might provide a much better guide to the hygienic quality of both raw and pasterurized milk. The ability of the coli-aerogenes bacteria studied to ferment lactose in MacConkey's broth at 30° but not at 37° was found to be a stable factor which was unchanged by prolonged storage on agar slopes at room temperature or on continued incubation in MacConkey's broth at temperatures above the optimum for lactose fermentation. 相似文献

Prediction of the keeping quality of pasteurized milk by the detection of cytochrome c oxidase 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
The keeping quality (KQ) of pasteurized milk samples stored at 5°C and 10°C was satisfactorily predicted after 18 h pre-incubation with 0.05% benzalkonium chloride at 20°C, by estimating the numbers of Gram-negative psychrotrophic bacteria using the simple, cheap and rapid (5 min) assay of cytochrome c oxidase. Correlation coefficients for the relationship between cytochrome c oxidase activity at 20°C and KQ at 5°C or 10°C of -0.89 and -0.84 respectively were obtained. The method correctly predicted the KQ of more than 89% of the samples of pasteurized milk. The assay was not satisfactory for use on samples after pre-incubation at 30°C. 相似文献

Whole blood from healthy donors was washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and then resuspended in sufficient PBS to give a final concentration of 2 × 109/cells/ml. Aliquots were combined with equal volumes of the required diluents to give final dextran 40 concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% in PBS. Fifty-lambda samples in 50-lambda Micropets (Clay Adams) were frozen in alcohol baths at temperatures ranging from ?10 to ?80 °C. The specimens were frozen either for 1 min or 16 min, rapidly thawed, and resuspended in PBS or PBS plus dextran. Percentage of hemolysis was determined colorimetrically. Results indicate that concentraitons as low as 5% dextran exert a cryoprotective effect. Increased dextran concentration increases cryoprotection at high subzero bath temperatures (?10 ° and ?20 °C). Dextran concentrations beyond 12% have a damaging effect at low subzero bath temperatures (below ?30 °C). Based on this a two-factor hypothesis for cryopreservation is proposed. Apparent partial recovery of red blood cells without dextran or with 5% dextran during subzero storage was demonstrated. 相似文献

The ability to ship cooled stallion semen to a facility that specializes in cryopreservation of spermatozoa would permit stallions to remain at home while their semen is cryopreserved at facilities having the equipment and expertise to freeze the semen properly. To accomplish this goal, methods must be developed to freeze cooled shipped semen. Three experiments were conducted to determine the most appropriate spermatozoal extender, package, time of centrifugation, spermatozoal concentration and length of time after collection that spermatozoa can be cooled before cryopreservation. In the first experiment, spermatozoa were centrifuged to remove seminal plasma, resuspended in either a skim milk extender, a skim milk-egg yolk-sugar extender or a skim milk-egg yolk-salt extender, cooled to 5 degreesC and frozen in 0.5- or 2.5-mL straws either 2.5 or 24 h after cooling. Samples frozen 2.5 h after cooling had higher percentages of progressively motile (PM) spermatozoa (27%) than samples frozen 24 h after cooling (10%; P < 0.05). Samples frozen 2.5 h after cooling in skim milk extenders containing egg yolk had higher percentages of PM spermatozoa (average 32%) than did spermatozoa frozen in extender containing skim milk alone (average 16%; P < 0.05). The percentages of PM spermatozoa frozen in 0.5- or 2.5-mL straws were similar (21 and 28%, respectively; P > 0.05). In the second experiment, spermatozoa were centrifuged to remove seminal plasma either before (25 degreesC) or after cooling (5 degreesC), and spermatozoa were frozen after being cooled to 5 degreesC for 2, 6, or 12 h. The percentages of PM spermatozoa were higher (P < 0.05) for spermatozoa centrifuged before cooling (30%) than for spermatozoa centrifuged after cooling (19%). Spermatozoa centrifuged at 25 degreesC then cooled for 12 h to 5 degreesC had higher (P < 0.05) post-thaw progressive motility (23%) compared to spermatozoa cooled for 12 h and centrifuged at 5 degreesC (13%). In the third experiment, spermatozoa were centrifuged for seminal plasma removal, resuspended at spermatozoal concentrations of 50,250 or 500 x 10(6)/mL, cooled to 5 degreesC for 12 h and then frozen. Samples with spermatozoa packaged at 50 or 250 x 10(6)/mL had higher (P < 0.05 percentages of PM spermatozoa (25 and 23%) after freezing than did samples packaged at 500 x 10(6) spermatozoa/mL (17%). We recommend that semen be centrifuged at 25 degreesC to remove seminal plasma, suspended to 250 x 10(6) spermatozoa/ml and held at 5 degreesC for 12 h prior to freezing. 相似文献
