Variations of Soybean Meal and Corn Mixed Substrates in Physicochemical Characteristics and Microbiota During Two-Stage Solid-State Fermentation. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:688839.

Abstract
Corn germ meal (CGM) and corn gluten feed (CGF) are the two main corn byproducts (CBs) obtained from corn starch extraction. Due to their high fiber content, low protein content, and severe imbalance of amino acid, CBs are unable to be fully utilized by animals. In this study, the effect of microorganism, proteases, temperature, solid-liquid ratio, and time on nutritional properties of CB mixture feed (CMF) was investigated with the single-factor method and the response surface method to improve the nutritional quality and utilization of CBs. Fermentation with Pichia kudriavzevii, Lactobacillus plantarum, and neutral protease notably improved the nutritional properties of CMF under the fermentation conditions of 37°C, solid-liquid ratio (1.2:1 g/ml), and 72 h. After two-stage solid-stage fermentation, the crude protein (CP) and trichloroacetic acid-soluble protein (TCA-SP) in fermented CMF (FCMF) were increased (p < 0.05) by 14.28% and 25.53%, respectively. The in vitro digestibility of CP and total amino acids of FCMF were significantly improved to 78.53% and 74.94%, respectively. In addition, fermentation degraded fiber and provided more organic acids in the CMF. Multiple physicochemical analyses combined with high-throughput sequencing were performed to reveal the dynamic changes that occur during a two-stage solid-state fermentation process. Generally, Ascomycota became the predominant members of the community of the first-stage of fermentation, and after 36 h of anaerobic fermentation, Paenibacillus spp., Pantoea spp., and Lactobacillales were predominant. All of these processes increased the bacterial abundance and lactic acid content (p < 0.00). Our results suggest that two-stage solid-state fermentation with Pichia kudriavzevii, Lactobacillus plantarum, and protease can efficiently improve protein quality and nutrient utilization of CMF.

Abstract
The ubiquitous soil bacterium Bacillus cereus presents major challenges to food safety. It is responsible for two types of food poisoning, the emetic form due to food intoxication and the diarrheal form emerging from food infections with enteropathogenic strains, also known as toxico-infections, which are the subject of this review. The diarrheal type of food poisoning emerges after production of enterotoxins by viable bacteria in the human intestine. Basically, the manifestation of the disease is, however, the result of a multifactorial process, including B. cereus prevalence and survival in different foods, survival of the stomach passage, spore germination, motility, adhesion, and finally enterotoxin production in the intestine. Moreover, all of these processes are influenced by the consumed foodstuffs as well as the intestinal microbiota which have, therefore, to be considered for a reliable prediction of the hazardous potential of contaminated foods. Current knowledge regarding these single aspects is summarized in this review aiming for risk-oriented diagnostics for enteropathogenic B. cereus.

Metabolic Feedback Inhibition Influences Metabolite Secretion by the Human Gut Symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. mSystems 2020; 5:5/5/e00252-20.

Abstract
Bacteroides is a highly abundant taxon in the human gut, and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. theta) is a ubiquitous human symbiont that colonizes the host early in development and persists throughout its life span. The phenotypic plasticity of keystone organisms such as B. theta is important to understand in order to predict phenotype(s) and metabolic interactions under changing nutrient conditions such as those that occur in complex gut communities. Our study shows B. theta prioritizes energy conservation and suppresses secretion of “overflow metabolites” such as organic acids and amino acids when concentrations of acetate are high. Secreted metabolites, especially amino acids, can be a source of nutrients or signals for the host or other microbes in the community. Our study suggests that when metabolically stressed by acetate, B. theta stops sharing with its ecological partners. Microbial metabolism and trophic interactions between microbes give rise to complex multispecies communities in microbe-host systems. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. theta) is a human gut symbiont thought to play an important role in maintaining host health. Untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics revealed B. theta secretes specific organic acids and amino acids in defined minimal medium. Physiological concentrations of acetate and formate found in the human intestinal tract were shown to cause dose-dependent changes in secretion of metabolites known to play roles in host nutrition and pathogenesis. While secretion fluxes varied, biomass yield was unchanged, suggesting feedback inhibition does not affect metabolic bioenergetics but instead redirects carbon and energy to CO2 and H2. Flux balance analysis modeling showed increased flux through CO2-producing reactions under glucose-limiting growth conditions. The metabolic dynamics observed for B. theta, a keystone symbiont organism, underscores the need for metabolic modeling to complement genomic predictions of microbial metabolism to infer mechanisms of microbe-microbe and microbe-host interactions.

Abstract
Low levels of contamination by Bacillus cereus at the cheese farm is essential for reducing any opportunity for growth prior consumption. In this study, B. cereus distribution in a plant producing Protected Designation of Origin Taleggio cheese was investigated and the virulence potential of the isolates was evaluated. Seventy-four samples were collected from Food and Non Food Contact Surfaces (FCS, NFCS), saline curd, and Taleggio. The eleven isolates were identified, typified, and clustered. Strains were tested for the production of hemolysins, hemolysin BL (HBL), phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC), proteases, and biofilm, and for the presence of chromosomal toxin-encoding genes (sph, plcA, cytK, entFM, bcet, entS, nheA, nheB, nheC). B. cereus was detected on NFCS, FCS, and curd, but not in Taleggio. The isolates were grouped into six clusters, and all produced PC-PLC, hemolysins, and proteases, and most of them HBL (66.7%). All the clusters harbored the nheA, sph, plcA, entFM, and cytK genes, and some also nheB (83.3%), nheC (66.7%), bcet (50.0%), and entS (66.7%). All strains showed biofilm-forming ability. Our data reveal possible contamination of production plants and cheese curd by potentially virulent B. cereus, but bacterial absence in Taleggio highlights the efficacy of a proper management of the production phases in assuring consumer's protection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate combinations of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains should be selected to optimize the ensiling process, and the additives should be adjusted to the ensiled forage crops. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of inoculation with three Lactobacillus species on the chemical parameters and microbiological quality (beneficial and harmful microbiota) of grass silage. RESULTS Three species: L. paracasei (LPa), L. brevis (LB) and L. plantarum (LPl), isolated from sugar beet silage and characterized based on 16S rDNA sequences and biochemical parameters, were analyzed in the study. Single strains and their combinations were used as silage inoculants. The basic chemical and microbiological (qPCR) parameters of silages were determined. Based on the results of agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) and principal component analysis (PCA) it was determined that silages inoculated with single LAB strains and LPa + LB and commercial additive (0+) were the best quality ones, particularly with regard to microbiological parameters and they effectively lowered the pH value. A consortium of three Lactobacillus species had no influence on silage quality, whereas LPa + LB and LPl + LB combinations as well as a commercial additive exerted positive effects. Inoculation inhibited the growth of toxin-producing fungi. CONCLUSION Only the appropriate LAB composition can improve the quality of the ensiled material (antagonistic relationship). Only the LPa + LB combination was able to improve the value of low dry silage; nevertheless, almost all combinations were able to reduced concentrations of toxin-producing fungi. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Food safety is a global health and socioeconomic concern since many people still suffer from various acute and life-long diseases, which are caused by consumption of unsafe food. Therefore, ensuring safety of the food is one of the most essential issues in the food industry, which needs to be considered during not only food composition formulation but also handling and storage. For safety purpose, various chemical preservatives have been used so far in the foods. Recently, there has been renewed interest in replacing chemically originated food safety compounds with natural ones in the industry, which can also serve as antimicrobial agents. Among these natural compounds, organic acids possess the major portion. Therefore, in this paper, it is aimed to review and compile the applications, effectiveness, and microbial productions of various widely used organic acids as antimicrobial agents in the food industry.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the possible inhibitory effect of natural lactic acid bacteria on the growth of 2 Bacillus cereus strains. First, we evaluated the behavior of spores of B. cereus GPe2 and D43 when inoculated before cheesemaking using pasteurized or raw milk; no statistical differences were observed between cheese produced with the 2 types of milk. Then, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from cheese at the last sampling time, identified, and tested in vitro for their antagonistic activity and organic acid production by using an HPLC method, showing antimicrobial potential. The LAB that produced larger inhibition halos (>9 mm) against B. cereus strains (LAB 3, 6, 9, 10: Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis; LAB 7: Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris) were selected to produce a LAB mixture for subsequent tests. Spores of B. cereus GPe2 and D43 were inoculated in pasteurized milk before cheesemaking with or without addition of the LAB mixture at a high dosage. Bacillus cereus grew more slowly when LAB were added to the dairy matrix (with differences from 2.36 to 2.66 log cfu/g in B. cereus GPe2 and D43 growth).

Abstract
The genus Lactococcus comprises 12 species, some known for decades and others more recently described. Lactococcus piscium, isolated in 1990 from rainbow trout, is a psychrotrophic lactic acid bacterium, probably disregarded because most of the strains are unable to grow at 30°C. During the last 10 years, this species has been isolated from a large variety of food: meat, seafood and vegetables, mostly packed under vacuum (VP) or modified atmosphere (MAP) and stored at chilled temperature. Recently, culture-independent techniques used for characterization of microbial ecosystems have highlighted the importance of Lc. piscium in food. Its role in food spoilage varies according to the strain and the food matrix. However, most studies have indicated that Lc. piscium spoils meat, whereas it does not degrade the sensory properties of seafood. Lactococcus piscium strains have a large antimicrobial spectrum, including Gram-positive and negative bacteria. In various seafoods, some strains have a protective effect against spoilage and can extend the sensory shelf-life of the products. They can also inhibit the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, by a cell-to-cell contact-dependent. This article reviews the physiological and genomic characteristics of Lc. piscium and discusses its spoilage or protective activities in food.

Abstract
Bacillus cereus is an endospore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium able to cause foodborne diseases. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are known for their ability to synthesize organic acids and bacteriocins, but the potential of these compounds against B. cereus has been scarcely documented in food models. The present study has examined the effect of the metabolites produced by Lactobacillus johnsonii CRL1647 and Enterococcus faecium SM21 on the viability of select B. cereus strains. Furthermore, the effect of E. faecium SM21 metabolites against B. cereus strains has also been investigated on a rice food model. L. johnsonii CRL1647 produced 128 mmol/L of lactic acid, 38 mmol/L of acetic acid and 0.3 mmol/L of phenyl-lactic acid. These organic acids reduced the number of vegetative cells and spores of the B. cereus strains tested. However, the antagonistic effect disappeared at pH 6.5. On the other hand, E. faecium SM21 produced only lactic and acetic acid (24.5 and 12.2 mmol/L, respectively) and was able to inhibit both vegetative cells and spores of the B. cereus strains, at a final fermentation pH of 5.0 and at pH 6.5. This would indicate the action of other metabolites, different from organic acids, present in the cell-free supernatant. On cooked rice grains, the E. faecium SM21 bacteriocin(s) were tested against two B. cereus strains. Both of them were significantly affected within the first 4 h of contact; whereas B. cereus BAC1 cells recovered after 24 h, the effect on B. cereus 1 remained up to the end of the assay. The LAB studied may thus be considered to define future strategies for biological control of B. cereus.

Fate of Bacillus anthracis during production of laboratory-scale cream cheese and homemade-style yoghurt. Food Microbiol 2014; 46:336-341.

Abstract
The viability of Bacillus anthracis during production and storage of cream cheese and yoghurt was evaluated. Experimental cheeses were manufactured from whole milk inoculated with a suspension of B. anthracis vegetative cells and spores at a final concentration of 10(4) cfu/ml. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and lab ferment were used to induce milk ripening and milk coagulation. The pH-value of the contaminated milk dropped below 4.5 within the first 6 h and the amount of LAB increased by approximately 2-logs. During cheese production and storage at 5-9 °C for 24 days no growth of B. anthracis was observed. The amount of vegetative cells and spores fluctuated by 1-log. Inoculation of whole milk with heat-treated spores at 10(4) cfu/ml resulted in a slight increase of vegetative cell counts during the first 6 h. This indicated that germination occurred, but replication of vegetative cells was still inhibited in the produced cheese. Incubation of cheeses at room temperature or heating after milk coagulation strongly reduced the amount of LAB but had no effect on the growth behaviour of B. anthracis. The vegetative cell and spore content remained steady at 10(4) cfu/100 mg. During yoghurt production the pH-value decreased within 5 h below 5 and growth of B. anthracis was inhibited throughout storage. A pH-value of 5 or less is likely a critical factor to control the growth of B. anthracis. However, spores remained viable in experimental cream cheeses and yoghurts and are a potential risk of infection.

Abstract
Bacteria play a significant role in water contamination. Chemicals are mostly used for the treatment of bacteriologically contaminated water. The use of bacterial interactions is a new approach to limit the pathogens' growth. Detection of antimicrobial substances produced by lactic acid bacteria against the waterborne pathogens is the objective of this work. Microbiological and biochemical methods were used to identify lactic acid bacteria having an antimicrobial activity. Evaluation of antimicrobial activity with growth kinetic measurements was performed. Four isolates of lactic acid bacteria obtained from whey and curd were identified. The predominant species belonging to the Lactobacillus genera are: Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus sakei, Lactobacillus paracasei, and Lactobacillus paraplantarum. The present study revealed that the Lactobacillus consortium is able to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus's growth along with Escherichia coli and Vibrio species. In mixed culture, after 24 h, the Lactobacillus consortium reduces the growth of S. aureus by 2.03 log; moreover, the growth of the latter bacteria totally ceased after 72 h of incubation. The protein produced by the Lactobacillus consortium was responsible for arresting the growth of S. aureus.

Abstract
Antimicrobial activity of selected lactic acid cocci and production of organic acidsAntimicrobial activity and production of organic acids by selected lactic acid bacteria were monitored in this study. The largest antimicrobial activity against indicator microorganisms showed Pediococcus sp. G5, whereasStreptococcus thermophilushad no inhibitory effect. The inhibitory effect ofPediococcussp. G5 was strongest againstBacillus subtilis(17.78 %). Lactococci inhibited the growth ofEscherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosaandStaphylococcus aureus(% of inhibition ≤ 5.25). The growth ofAsperglillus flavus, Penicillium funiculosumandRhizopus oryzaewas not inhibited by all of tested cocci. Cocci produced varying quantities of organic acids (lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, etc.). Lactic acid was in large amounts and phenyllactic acid was produced only byPediococcussp. G5 (49.65 mg/L).

Abstract
Inhibition of Clostridium perfringens spore germination and outgrowth in ground turkey roast containing minimal ingredients (salt and sugar), by buffered vinegar (MOstatin V) and a blend (buffered) of lemon juice concentrate and vinegar (MOstatin LV) was evaluated. Ground turkey roast was formulated to contain sea salt (1.5%), turbinado sugar (0.5%), and various concentrations of MOstatin V (0.75, 1.25, or 2.5%) or MOstatin LV (1.5, 2.5, or 3.5%), along with a control (without MOstatins). The product was inoculated with a three-strain spore cocktail of C. perfringens to obtain initial spore levels of ca. 2.0 to 0.5 log CFU/g. Inoculated products were vacuum packaged, heat shocked for 20 min at 75°C, and cooled exponentially from 54.4 to 4.0°C in 6.5, 9, 12, 15, 18, or 21 h. In control samples without MOstatin V or MOstatin LV, C. perfringens populations reached 2.98, 4.50, 5.78, 7.05, 7.88, and 8.19 log CFU/g (corresponding increases of 0.51, 2.29, 3.51, 4.79, 5.55, and 5.93 log CFU/g) in 6.5, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 h of chilling, respectively. MOstatin V (2.5%) and MOstatin LV (3.5%) were effective in inhibiting C. perfringens spore germination and outgrowth in ground turkey roast to <1.0 log CFU/g during abusive chilling of the product within 21 h. Buffered vinegar and a blend (buffered) of lemon juice concentrate and vinegar were effective in controlling germination and outgrowth of C. perfringens spores in turkey roast containing minimal ingredients.

Abstract
Sago starch is an important dietary carbohydrate in lowland Papua New Guinea (PNG). An investigation was conducted to determine whether microbes play a role in its preservation using traditional methods. In 12 stored sago samples collected from PNG villages, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were present (> or = 3.6 x 10(4)cfu/g) and pH ranged from 6.8 to 4.2. Acetic and propionic acids were detected in all samples, while butyric, lactic and valeric acids were present in six or more. In freshly prepared sago, held in sealed containers in the laboratory at 30 degrees C, spontaneous fermentation by endogenous microflora of sago starch was observed. This was evident by increasing concentrations of acetic, butyric and lactic acids over 4 weeks, and pH reducing from 4.9 to 3.1: both LAB and yeasts were involved. Survival of potential bacterial pathogens was monitored by seeding sago starch with approximately 10(4)/g of selected organisms. Numbers of Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus fell to < 30/g within 7 days. Salmonella sp. was present only in low numbers after 7 days (< 36/g), but Escherichia coli was still detectable after three weeks (> 10(2)/g). Fermentation appeared to increase the storability and safety of the product.

Abstract
The effects of kefir-fermented milk were tested against a toxigenic strain of Bacillus cereus. The incubation of milk with B. cereus spores plus 5% kefir grains prevented spore germination and growth of vegetative forms. In contrast, when 1% kefir grains was used, no effects were observed. The presence of metabolically active kefir grains diminished titers of nonhemolytic enterotoxin A, as assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. During fermentation, kefir microorganisms produce extracellular metabolites such as organic acids, which could play a role in the inhibition of spore germination and growth of B. cereus, although the effect of other factors cannot be ruled out. Results of the present study show that kefir-fermented milk is able to antagonize key mechanisms involved in the growth of B. cereus as well as interfere with the biological activity of this microorganism.

Abstract
Mathematical models describing the growth kinetic parameters (lag phase duration and growth rate) of Bacillus cereus as a function of temperature, pH, sodium lactate and sodium chloride concentrations were obtained in this study. In order to get a residual distribution closer to a normal distribution, the natural logarithm of the growth kinetic parameters were used in modeling. For reasons of parsimony, the polynomial models were reduced to contain only the coefficients significant at a level of p<or=0.05. Using the reduced polynomial models (R2 of 95.2% and 93.9% for ln LAG and ln GR models, respectively), three-dimensional graphs were drawn illustrating the effects of the independent variables on the growth parameters. Predicted data were compared with the predictions from Pathogen Modeling Program (PMP-US Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service) and validated against data extracted from the literature. The mean absolute relative error (MARE) and the median relative error (MRE) of the predicted generation times with the derived model were 25.6% and -16.7%, respectively, showing that the growth rate model accurately and safely predicted the growth kinetics of B. cereus. Results of the modeling study indicated that all of the studied factors had a significant effect on the growth of B. cereus in the experimental range studied.

Abstract
During co-culture of Lactobacillus (five strains) or Lactococcus (two strains) with Bacillus cereus, organic acids and other potentially antimicrobial metabolites are produced. Lactic acid was produced at very different rates by the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and the final concentrations varied much, however, the crucial point of rapid pH reduction during the initial hours of fermentation coincides with lactic acid production. Moderate amounts of acetic acid were produced during fermentation and the final concentrations were much smaller compared to lactic acid. According to these experiments, production of diacetyl, carbon dioxide and ethanol was considered too small to contribute to inhibition of B. cereus. The inhibitory substance produced by the LAB strains was not sensitive to proteinase K, trypsin or pepsin, so it was not likely that the LAB strains produced bacteriocins antagonistic against B. cereus. The strains that produced lactic acid fastest inhibited B. cereus best. Increased concentrations of lactic and acetic acid and carbon dioxide were also observed after co-culture with B. cereus compared to growth of the LAB strains alone, which indicates that B. cereus stimulates the biosynthetic capacities of the LAB strains.

Abstract
To determine the role of Bacillus cereus as a potential pathogen in food poisoning, the production of an emetic toxin (cereulide) by B. cereus was quantified in various food sources. The amount of emetic toxin in 13 of 14 food samples implicated in vomiting-type food poisoning cases ranged from 0.01 to 1.28 microg/g. A vomiting-type strain, B. cereus NC7401, was inoculated into various foods and incubated for 24 h at 20, 30, and 35 degrees C. In boiled rice, B. cereus rapidly increased to 10(7)-10(8) cfu/g and produced emetic toxin at both 30 and 35 degrees C. In farinaceous foods, the production of emetic toxin was as high as that in the food samples implicated in food poisoning. Low levels of emetic toxin were detectable in egg and meat and their products and a small quantity of toxin was detectable in liquid foods such as milk and soymilk when not aerated. Bacterial growth and toxin production was inhibited in foods cooked with vinegar, mayonnaise, and catsup, supposedly by the decreased pH of acetic acid. This is the first report that has quantified emetic toxin of B. cereus in various foods.

Abstract
Microbiological surveys, to determine the quality and safety, were conducted on 45 sorghum samples comprising dry powders (n = 15) and corresponding fermented (n = 15) and cooked fermented porridge (n = 15) samples collected from households in an informal settlement of the Gauteng Province of South Africa. Mean aerobic plate counts, Gram-negative counts and bacterial spore counts of sorghum powder samples decreased in fermented and cooked fermented porridge samples. However, mean lactic acid bacteria counts increased in fermented porridge samples, but decreased slightly in cooked fermented porridge samples. The mean pH value of sorghum powder samples decreased in fermented and cooked fermented porridge, respectively. Bacillus (B.) cereus was detected in all 15 sorghum powder samples, while Escherichia (E.) coli was detected in 53%, Clostridium perfringens in 27%, Listeria monocytogenes in 13% and Aeromonas spp., Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella spp. and Yersinia spp., each in 7% of sorghum powder samples. Of the fermented porridge samples, 40% contained B. cereus and 7% contained E. coli. None of the pathogens tested for were detected in cooked fermented porridge samples. B. cereus (53%), B. subtilis (21%), B. thuringiensis (13%), B. licheniformis (10%) and B. coagulans (3%) were identified from 120 isolates randomly selected from spore count plates of the highest dilution showing growth.

Abstract
The growth responses of a vegetative inoculum of Bacillus cereus as influenced by varying conditions of temperature, pH value and sodium chloride concentration (% w/v) and carbondioxide concentration (% v/v) were determined in laboratory medium. Growth curves in concentrations of NaCl in the range 0.5-10.5% (w/v), pH values in the range 4.5-7.0, CO2 concentrations in the range 10-80% (v/v) and storage temperatures from 10 degrees C to 30 degrees C were fitted using the regime of Baranyi et al. (1993). A response surface model was prepared and predictions of doubling time, growth rate, lag time and time to 1000-fold increase could be obtained for any set of conditions within the matrix studied. This model is included in Food MicroModel Version 1. Predicted doubling times from the model were compared to observed doubling times in the literature and the model was found to give realistic estimates of doubling time for a range of foods including milk, meat and poultry and carbohydrate-based products.

Abstract
The potential of stabilised Brie to support growth of the food-borne pathogens, Yersinia enterocolitica serotypes 0:3 and 0:9, Salmonella typhimurium, S. dublin (both dairy isolates), S. thompson, and Bacillus cereus (3 dairy isolates), after contamination on opening the cheese package was evaluated. Growth kinetics of the different pathogens was determined in relation to inoculum size and storage temperature (4 degrees C, 8 degrees C and 20 degrees C). Only Y. enterocolitica was found to grow on the surfaces (outer and exposed) of Brie at all three storage temperatures. Growth of this pathogen during refrigerated storage must be avoided to ensure safety. The numbers of B. cereus and Salmonella increased at 20 degrees C but declined at a slow rate during storage at 4 degrees C and 8 degrees C. However, survival of these two pathogens for extended periods at abuse temperatures could pose a health hazard. Predictions from a predictive modelling program (MFS model) and a modelling database (Food Micromodel) were compared to observed growth values in Brie. Although accurate in the case of B. cereus at 20 degrees C, predicted generation times were in general found to be considerably shorter than the observed values, i.e., overall they were 'fail safe'. Predicted lag times, however, were generally longer compared to observed values in the case of Y. enterocolitica and at low inocula for Salmonella, and would 'fail dangerous' if used for predictive purposes.

Abstract
Health concerns and technological effects of psychrotrophic bacteria in dairy products are reviewed, as well as methods to control their presence and development. The various Gram-negative and Gram-positive psychrotrophic species are listed and, with respect to pathogenic psychrotrophs, emphasis is given on Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Bacillus cereus. The influence of psychrotrophic bacteria on the quality of raw milk, pasteurized and UHT milks, butter, ice cream, cheese, and powders is examined. Public health considerations of Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Bacillus cereus of these various dairy products are also presented. Methods that can be used to eliminate or control the development of psychrotropic bacteria include low or high temperatures, chemicals, gases, the lactoperoxidase system, lactic acid bacteria, microfiltration, bactofugation, lactoferrin-related proteins, sanitation, flavors, and naturally occurring spore germinants.

Abstract
Counts of Bacillus cereus reached ca 10(8) cfu/g within 40 h in fermenting unacidified horsebean tempeh and resulted in complete spoilage of the product. In fermenting unacidified pea, chickpea and soybean tempeh, B. cereus counts reached 10(6)-10(7) cfu/g, although the products were not spoiled. Inoculation of these unacidified beans with Lactobacillus plantarum decreased the final count of B. cereus by 2 log units, but had no effect on its growth in unacidified horsebean tempeh and its subsequent spoilage. Acidification of the beans during soaking resulted in a lower rate of B. cereus growth during fermentation. Inoculation of acidified beans with Lact. plantarum resulted in a markedly lower growth rate of B. cereus. In an associative broth culture study, B. cereus was completely inhibited by Lact. plantarum at pH values of about 5.5. Lactobacillus plantarum may be used to control the growth of B. cereus during tempeh production.
