FIG. 2.

Effect of growth phase on resistance of C. jejuni NCTC 11351 to heat and aeration. Cells were grown in BBFBP to exponential phase (○), early stationary phase (24 h) (▴), and late stationary phase (48 h) (□). Samples were heated to 50°C (a) or diluted 1:20 in prewarmed PBS prior to aeration at 37°C and 90 rpm (b). The experiment was repeated three times, and results from a single experiment are shown.
