The Effect of Sodium Chloride on Heat Resistance and Recovery of Heated Spores of Clostridium sporogenes (PA 3679/S2)

Abstract
Summary. In 3% and 6% (w/v) sodium chloride solutions the heat resistances of spores of Clostridium sporogenes were the same as in water. Heating to give a 0.1% survival rendered the surviving spores more sensitive to inhibition by sodium chloride in the recovery medium.
