A Food Microbiologist would like to determine all the possible effects of temperature and pH on microbial growth rate (Kg). How will s/he express her/his hypothesis in an equation? Illustrate the effect of temperatures 4, 15, and 25 °C on microbial spoilage of food. Assume that spoilage takes place when APC > 5.0 log CFU/g.
Microbial Physiology
Microbial physiology is the branch of microbiology that is associated with studying the physiology of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It is an important field of science concerning functional genomics and metabolic engineering.
Chemotaxis
The organism’s movement in a particular direction as a response to certain chemicals that are available in the environment is defined as chemotaxis. In brief, it can be defined as the occurrence of an organism’s movement in response to a certain chemical stimulus.
