| Abstract | Intra-species variability of microbial growth kinetic behavior is an event with important implications for food safety research. Aiming at the evaluation of the growth variability among Salmonella enterica strains as affected by the growth environment, the kinetic behavior of 60 isolates of the pathogen was assessed at 37 °C in tryptone soy broth of different pH values (4.3-7.0) and NaCl concentrations (0.5-6.0%). Maximum specific growth rate (µ(max)) values corresponding to each strain and growth condition were estimated by means of absorbance detection times of serially decimally diluted cultures using the automated turbidimetric system Bioscreen C. A total of 9600 optical density curves were generated for the strains and the growth conditions tested. The variability of µ(max) among the S. enterica strains was important and greater than that observed within the strains (i.e. among replicates). Moreover, strain variability increased as the growth conditions became more stressful both in terms of pH and NaCl. The coefficient of variation of µ(max) among the tested strains at pH 7.0-0.5% NaCl was 6.1%, while at pH 4.3-0.5% NaCl and pH 7.0-6.0% NaCl was 11.8% and 23.5%, respectively. Beyond the scientific interest in understanding strain variability, the findings of this study should be useful in strain selection for exploitation in food safety challenge studies as well as in incorporating strain variability in predictive microbiology and microbial risk assessment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
