Abstract
ABSTRACT
Deinococci with radiation resistance greater than that of
Deinococcus radiophilus
(ATCC 27603) were isolated from three commercial oyster extracts stored at 4, 20, and 30°C. During storage the number of other bacteria declined and deinococci became the predominant group in the microflora, particularly at 20°C, although at 30°C the number of deinococci as well rapidly declined. The results suggest that the natural habitat of deinococci is an aerobic environment containing a slightly elevated saline content, soluble protein, and low sugar levels.
