摘要

在本研究中先將仙人掌桿菌(Bacillus cereus)置於pH 6.3進行40min之酸馴化處理。經酸馴化之仙人掌桿菌在pH 4.6酸性環境下之存活百分率比未酸馴化者為高。以Streptococcus thermophilus 或Lactobacillus bulgaricus 進行脫脂牛乳乳酸發酵過程中之前12-18 hr，酸馴化及未酸馴化之仙人掌桿菌之活菌數皆迅速增加至約10^8-10^9 CFU/mL，其後均呈下降之情形。惟酸馴化者菌數下降之速度比未酸馴化者低。接種仙人掌桿菌於Str. thermophilus 發酵之脫脂牛乳及兩種市售發酵乳製品並置於5℃下貯存，酸馴化之仙人掌桿菌比未酸馴化者顯示有較高之活菌數。酸馴化降低了仙人掌桿菌對酸度、冷藏程度及發酵乳中可能含有有害因子之敏感性。

In this study, Bacillus cereus was subjected to acid adaptation at pH 6.3 for 40 min. It was found that acid-adapted B. cereus exhibited a higher survival percentage than non-adapted cells after exposure to an acidic condition of pH 4.6. The viable population of both acid-adapted and non-adapted B. cereus increased during the first 12-18 hr of lactic fermentation of skim milk by Streptococcus thermophilus or Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and then declined as the fermentation extended. However, the acid-adapted cells exhibited a lower population reduction rate than the non-adapted B. cereus. A higher viable population of acid-adapted B. cereus than the non-adapted cells was also noted in Str. thermophilus-fermented skim milk and the two commercial lactic fermented products kept at 5℃. Additionally, the acid adaptation could reduce the susceptibility of B. cereus to acidity, refrigerated temperature and other detrimental principles present in lactic fermented milk products.
