More questions

1. Are Acetobacter species & Saccharomyces cerevisiae salt-tolrant and can grow

on food at 7% salt w/v??

Both of these two are not known to be salt-tolerant.

2. Are both Acetobacter species & Saccharomyces cerevisiae mesophiles so they

cannot grow in food at 15 or 5 degree Celcius??

Acetobacter usually cannot grow below 15C.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae may be able to grow below 15C but 5C would be too low for much growth.

Dear Prof. Kwan,

Oh, I see. Then, I am sorry that I would like to ask more questions...

on food at 7% salt w/v??

2. Are both Acetobacter species & Saccharomyces cerevisiae mesophiles so they
