Table 1.
Comparison of inoculum preparation methods.
| Inoculum Parameters |
Enzymatic Digestion BC from Stationary Culture |
Enzymatic Digestion BC from Agitated Culture |
RMF-Assisted EL-ALB Culture | EL-ALB Culture |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Log10 CFU mL−1 | 5.18 ± 0.76 a | 6.76 ± 1.14 b | 10.41 ± 1.56 c | 7.72 ± 1.25 b |
| Time (d) | 7 | 4 | 2 | 2 |
The results are presented as a mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). a, b, c—statistically significant difference between methods of inoculum preparation. The differences were considered statistically significant when the p-value was less than 0.05.
