Temperature, pH, and Spore Load Effects on the Ability of Nisin to Prevent the Outgrowth of Clostridium botulinum Spores
ABSTRACT The effectiveness of nisin in preventing the outgrowth of spores of Clostridium botulinum types A, B, and E in TPYG broth was profoundly affected by pH, temperature of heat‐shocking, length of the heat‐shocking period, and spore load. Nisin was considerably more effective at pH 6 than at ei...
