Abstract
Effect of high pressure gaseous carbon dioxide treatment (HGCT) at 6.5 MPa, 35 °C on the germination of bacterial spores was investigated. Germination of bacterial spores was estimated by the decrease of heat tolerance. Approximately, 40% of Bacillus coagulans and 70% of Bacillus licheniformis were germinated by HGCT for 120 min at 35 °C, respectively. Germination was confirmed by phase contrast microscopy. The effect of hydrostatic pressure treatment (HPT) at 6.5 MPa, 35 °C on the germination of B. coagulans and B. licheniformis spores were also investigated. Spores did not germinate by HPT alone at 6.5 MPa for 120 min.
