Escherichia coli O157:H7: Growth in a heterogeneous food system and biofilm formation under nutrient limited conditions
Oil-in-water emulsions (hexadecane, minimal media (M9) and Tween 20) were used as a model system to study the growth of E. coli O157:H7 ATCC 43895. Stationary phase cell density decreased as the hexadecane concentration was increased (0%, 5%, 20%, and 40% (w/v)) and biphasic growth was observed in 4...
