title: Effects of water activity, NaCl and smoke concentrations on the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 12315.
abstract: The effect of water activity (a(w)), NaCl and liquid smoke concentrations on the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum, was studied in MRS broth under anaerobic conditions. A complete 2(3) factorial design was used to determine influential factors and interactions among these factors. NaCl concentration and a(w) had a major effect on the maximum biomass obtained but no interaction influenced this response. Smoke did not affect either biomass nor acidifying capacities.
