Abstract
It has been found that when three strains of Bacillus cereus are grown in turn with each of two strains of Streptococci lactis and two strains of the coli-aerogenes group, the growth of the spore-formers is neither suppressed nor stimulated. It has been confirmed, however, that the spore-former is unlikely to develop if the milk is held at 15°C. or below. Broken cream results if marked growth of B. cereus occurs. A nisin-producing strain of Str. lactis did not retard the development of the spore-former in milk, but after initial increase the numbers of B. cereus decreased. Broken cream was not prevented.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
