Table 1. Parameters calculated by the primary model for Vibrio parahaemolyticus growth in sea squirt during storage in 7°C, 15°C, 25°C, and 35°C
| Kinetic parameters | Temperature (°C) |
| 7 | 15 | 25 | 35 |
| μmax | 0.0 ± 0.0C | 0.2 ± 0.1B | 0.6 ± 0.4A | 0.9 ± 0.2A |
| LPD | 72.0 ± 0.0A | 8.6 ± 1.9B | 2.9 ± 2.1C | 1.3 ± 0.6C |
| N0 | 3.3 ± 0.2 | 3.3 ± 0.4 | 3.0 ± 0.4 | 3.0 ± 0.7 |
| Nmax | 3.5 ± 1.0 | 4.9 ± 0.8 | 6.4 ± 0.7 | 7.5 ± 0.4 |
Values are mean ± SD.
Values in the same row with different superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05).
μmax, maximum growth rate; N0, initial bacterial cell counts; Nmax, final bacterial cell counts; LPD, lag phase duration.
