TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON THE GROWTH OF AN OBLIGATE PSYCHROPHILIC MARINE BACTERIUM 12

Richard Y. Morita, Roger Haight

Open publisher page 47 citations

Abstract

A marine vibrio, designated as MP‐1, was isolated from the North Pacific Ocean and was found to be an obligate psychrophile. Growth was obtained from ‒1C (lowest tested) to 20C with optimal growth at 15–16C. The growth rate at 15C was found to be rapid under maximal aeration. Viability of the bacterium was destroyed by heating at 28.8C for 6.25 hr, and reversible damage occurred at 28.8C in 1.25 hr.
