Specific Growth Rate Determines the Sensitivity of Escherichia coli to Lactic Acid Stress: Implications for Predictive Microbiology
Table 2
Inactivation rates during lactic acid stress (150 mM HLac, pH = 4.6, ) at 27°C of E. coli 683 harvested at different growth rates. Cells were grown in TSB at 37°C in chemostat or batch culture.
