Factors influencing Microbial Growth Food Microbiology (MIC4003a) (Dr. Akhilendra Pratap Bharati) Food and Microorganism An understanding of the interactions between microorganisms and food. The ecological role of microorganisms and their importance in all the bio-geochemical cycles. The human food supply consists basically of plants and animals or products derived from them, it is understandable that our food supply contain microorganisms in interaction with food. Interaction between microorganism and food Pathogenic/spoilage, or disease causing microorganisms can cause illness Beneficial A knowledge ...
Factors Influencing Microbial Growth on Food Unit – I Chapter -3 Introduction • Microorganisms use our food supply as a source of nutrients and energy. They increase their numbers by utilizing nutrients. This can result in a deterioration of the food. They produce enzymatic changes and off-flavours in food by breaking down a nutrient or synthesizing new compounds. Thus, they "spoil" our food and makeitunfit forconsumption. MeasuresTaken: Reductionof thecontactbetweenmicroorganismsand foods(Preventcontamination) Eliminationofmicroorganismsfromourfoods, Adjustmentof conditionsofstorage(preservation) • The characteristics of ...

Microbial Growth & Environmental Factors Affecting Growth Assistant Prof. Dr. Fitua Al-Saedi Department of Clinical Laboratory Science College of Pharmacy Medical Microbiology Microbial Growth Refers to an increase in cell number, not in cell size. Bacteria grow on solid media as colonies. A colony is defined as a visible mass of microorganisms all originating from a single mother cell Bacteria grow and divide by binary fission, a rapid and relatively simple process. Bacterial Growth: Binary Fission Binary fission in ...
