FIG 3

Effect of temperature (30°C, gray bars; 10°C, white bars) on maximum values of optical density (A), growth rate (B), viable cell counts (C), total cell counts (D), cell dry weight (E), and whole-cell protein content (F) of strains tested in defined media at the stationary growth phase. Data represent the mean values (n = 3) of the isolates E. coli J55, L. monocytogenes Iso 11/13 A, S. xylosus J70, B. cereus J1, and P. nutrimenti J22T and the reference strains E. coli DSM 30083T, L. monocytogenes DSM 20600T, and S. xylosus DSM. No values were determined for Pedobacter panaciterrae LMG 23400T because of nonexistent growth at 10°C. No cell counts were determined for B. cereus J1 because of filamentous growth on solid and liquid media. Cell counts of B. cereus DSM 31T at 10°C are not visible due to their low numbers (viable cell count, 7 × 106 CFU/ml); total cell count, 3 × 107. *, statistically significant differences (t test, P < 0.05) between the temperatures for each strain. Values marked with “n.s.” are not significantly different.
