Effects ofTemperature, pH,andNaClonGrowthand Pectinolytic Activity ofPseudomonas marginalis

Theinteraction oftemperature (4, 10, 18, and30°C), pH(6, 7, and8), andNaCI (0, 2.5, and5%) andtheireffects onspecific growth rate, lag phase, andpectinolytic enzymesofPseudomonasmarginalis wereevaluated.Response surface methodologywasadapted to describe the response ofgrowth parameters to environmentalchanges.Toobtaingoodconditionsofstorage,thecombinedactionofsaltandtemperatureis
