Notes:
Growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureuson the surface of Trypticase Soy Agar (TSA) packaged with various CO2 partial pressures (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100%, balance N2) was compared to the control (N2 100%) on TSA in which the pH was adjusted to equal that in CO2 atmospheres at 15°C and 30°C. At 15°C, the biostatic effect was noted with all CO2 partial pressures for both species. At 30°C, the biostatic effect of CO2 was almost completely nullified for E. coli, but that for S. aureus was still effective. S. aureus was more sensitive to the inhibitory effects of CO2 than E. coli at both the temperatures.
