RESUMO

The interactions of pH (5.0, 6.0, and 7.0), temperature (19, 28, and 37 degrees C), and atmosphere (aerobic versus anaerobic) with NaCl (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%) on the growth of Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028 in defined glucose-mineral salts culture medium were evaluated. Response surface methodology was used to develop equations describing the response of S. typhimurium to environmental changes. The response to an increasing concentration of NaCl at any temperature tested was nonlinear. The maximum growth was predicted to occur at an NaCl concentration of 0.5%, a temperature of 19 degrees C, and an initial pH of 7.0 under aerobic growth conditions. The relative amounts of aerobic growth at 19 degrees C, pH 7.0, and NaCl concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% were predicted to be 99.2, 100.0, 98.8, 90.2, 73.5, 48.6, and 15.6%, respectively. Anaerobic growth conditions repressed the amount of growth relative to that under aerobic conditions, and the effects of NaCl and pH were additive at low salt concentrations; however, at higher salt levels anaerobiosis provided protection against the effects of NaCl.
