Relative survival of each bacterium at 12 h is expressed as the number of Aeromonas CFU grown in the presence of T. thermophila relative to the number of Aeromonas CFU cultivated alone. Relative survival of T. thermophila at 12 h is expressed as the number of T. thermophila cells co-cultured with Aeromonas spp. relative to the number of T. thermophila cells cultured alone.
