RESUMO
Genigeorgis, Constantin (University of California, Davis), and Walter W. Sadler. Effect of sodium chloride and pH on enterotoxin B production. J. Bacteriol. 92:1383–1387. 1966.—The growth and production of enterotoxin B by Staphylococcus aureus strain S-6 in Brain Heart Infusion broth with 2 to 16% sodium chloride and an initial pH of 5.1 to 6.9 was studied during a 10-day incubation period at 37 C. Growth was good at pH 6.9 and with a 16% concentration of salt, but no cells survived after 10 days of incubation at pH 5.1 and with a 16% concentration of salt. With geldiffusion technique, enterotoxin B was detected in broth with pH 6.9 and up to 10% salt or pH 5.1 and up to 4% salt. Growth and enterotoxin production were better when pH was increased and salt concentration was decreased. The dependence of toxin production on the interaction of these two factors was demonstrated.
