Fig. 1From: Survival of Bacillus spp. SUBB01 at high temperatures and a preliminary assessment of its ability to protect heat-stressed Escherichia coli cellsGrowth retardation of Bacillus spp. SUBB01 at extended temperature. Assessment of growth of Bacillus spp. SUBB01 at 48, 50, 52, 53 and 54 °C in terms of cell turbidity (a, b) and colony forming unites (c, d) at 100 rpm. Cells were grown aerobically as stated in “Methods”. Aliquots were removed at 12 and 24 h for the assay of culturable cells. Retardation of growth was slightly observed in case of Bacillus spp. SUBB01 after 12–24 h in both LB broth and nutrient brothBack to article page
