- Title
Germination and outgrowth of single spores of Clostridium botulinum and putrefactive anaerobes.
- Authors
Roberts, T.A.; Thomas, Josephine A.
- Abstract
Single spores of putrefactive anaerobes (PAs) germinated more slowly than those of Clostridium botulinum types A & B, with calculated times for 10% germination from 2 to 302 d. If PA spores were used in inoculated pack studies to simulate the response of Cl. botulinum, the likelihood of growth of Cl. botulinum would be underestimated.
