FIG. 2.
Log spore counts of B. subtilis and B. amyloliquefaciens spores in mashed carrots after treatment with 800 MPa and 70°C. (A) B. subtilis TMW 2.485 (•), TMW 2.484 (○), DSM 347 (▾), DSM 6405 (▿), Fad 94 (▪), DSM 618 (□), TMW 2.469 (♦), DSM 10T (⋄), Fad 110 (▴), and Fad 109 (▵). (B) B. amyloliquefaciens Fad 82 (•), Fad 11/2 (○), Fad 99 (▿), Fad 77 (▪), Fad 97 (□), Fad 108 (♦), and Fad We (⋄). Data shown are means of at least two independent experiments, and the standard deviations were generally less than 0.66 log units. Lines dropping below the x axis indicate spore counts below the detection limit (log [N/N0] = −6, where N and N0 are as defined for Fig. 1).
