Abstract

In order to optimize the method for detection of injured Aeromonas spp.,thawed pork inoculated with Aeromonas spp.after frozen for 48 h under-18℃ was detected using Tryptic Soy Agar with 0.6% Yeast Extract(TSAYE),Nutrient Agar(NA) and Aeromonas Selective Agar(ASA),respectively.Then the selected medium was supplemented with 2% and 4% NaCl respectively for the study of salt-tolerance of Aeromonas spp.Furthermore,the medium was supplemented with 1.0%,1.5%,2.0%,2.5% and 3.0% NaCl,respectively,for selecting the proper injured Aeromonas spp.culture based on the analysis of variance.Moreover,the optimized comparison of repair substrate was conducted on the ratio of injuring and selecting medium counting,which based on the Phosphate Buffer System(PBS),Buffer Peptone water(BP) and Nutrient Broth(NB),respectively.Results showed that TSAYE was more appropriate than NA and ASA for the repair medium of Aeromonas spp.,and TSAYE with 1.5% NaCl could be used for counting injured Aeromonas spp.for the following studies.The number of injured Aeromonas spp.colonies was counted by difference between the numbers of colonies using TSAYE medium with and without 1.5% NaCl.The optimization results indicated that the proper repair temperature and culture medium for injured Aeromonas spp.was 25℃ and NB in liquid culture,respectively,and the repair time might be 1 h for this bacteria.
