Notes:
The growth of Pseudonmonas geniculata in sterile maple sap in the presence and absence of 5 ppm formaldehyde at several temperatures was investigated. At 27°C, the growth of inocula as low as 103 cells/ml was rapid, and the effect of formaldehyde, if any, was negligible. At 7°C, the temperature slowed the growth of the bacteria, particularly in cultures inoculated with 103 or 104 cells/ml. Formaldehyde further inhibited the cultures, initially causing a decrease in the number of viable organisms and lengthening the lag period before growth began again. This was particularly noticeable in the cultures with the smaller inocula.
