Dynamics of the microbial population during the processing of salami: fermentation at 21°C from 0 to 48 h and ripening at 17°C to 336 h (14 days). CNS (grey square), total bacterial count (black triangle), and LAB (white circle). Treatments Ls-Sc (a), Ls-Sc+ (b), C (c), and C+ (d). The bars indicate the confidence intervals.
