摘要

Thermal inactivation rates were determined for two strains of Bacillus subtilis var. niger spores after equilibration to various relative humidity (RH) levels. In these tests, small thin stainless-steel squares were each inoculated with a drop of spore suspension and equilibrated to 11, 33, or 85% RH. Following equilibration, the squares were placed on a hot plate preheated to 108, 125, 136, 164, or 192 C for various exposure times and then assayed for surviving organisms. The results revealed that spores of the A strain of B. subtilis were least resistant if preequilibrated to 11% RH and most resistant if preequilibrated to 85% RH. The same trend was obtained at all temperatures except 192 C, at which, no difference was noted, probably because the rapid kill time approaches the heat-up time of the stainless-steel square. The B strain of B. subtilis spores showed an opposite RH effect; that is, the cells preequilibrated to 11% RH were the most resistant. Because the two strains of spores were grown on different media, further studies were conducted at 136 C after subculturing the cells on different media. When the B strain was subcultured on the A strain medium, the pattern was reversed; the cells preequilibrated to low RH were then least resistant. Although it was not possible to reverse these cells to the original pattern by subculturing on the original B strain medium again, the pattern was altered to the point that there was no significant difference in heat resistance of these cells regardless of the preequilibration RH. The same result was obtained when the A strain was grown on the B strain medium; that is, the thermal resistance could not be reversed, but it was altered from the point where the low RH equilibrated cells were least resistant initially to the point where there was no significant difference in any of the cells regardless of what RH was used for preequilibration. The thermal resistance of spores seemed to be dependent on (i) the medium on which the spores are grown, (ii) the RH on which they are exposed before heating, and (iii) some genetic characteristic of the cell.
