Construction and comparison of response surface kinetic models for the Yersinia enterocolitica type strain and a food isolate under aerobic conditions.
Response surface models were constructed for the type strain of Yersinia enterocolitica (ATCC 9610) and a wild type strain isolated from sliced roast lamb, for various conditions of temperature, pH, sodium chloride concentration and sodium nitrite concentration. Both strains grew at similar rates except at the 'extremes' of the conditions tested. Models for both quadratic and cubic polynomial equations are shown. The results obtained indicate that the cubic model is superior.
