title: Interaction of pH and NaCl on culture density of Clostridium botulinum 62A.
abstract: Clostridium botulinum 62A growth rates declined with decreasing pH and increasing salt levels. Lysis rates, however, were affected only by pH. Due to competition between growth and lysis rates, an accurate assessment of interactive effects was obtained only when optical density determinations were made at multiple intervals.
