FIG. 1. (a) Fermentation of[4C]dulcitol by S. newport measured by '4CO2 production. The numbers of cells
in the inoculum varied from 104 to 107. (b) Effect ofSalmonella polyHagglutinating serum on the fermentation
of[14C]dulcitol. The inocula in flasks A and B were 106 S. newport cells, and flask B contained the poly H
serum. (c) Samples: 1A, IB-meat sample naturally contaminated with S. typhimurium; 2A, 2B-meat sample
negative for Salmonella; 3A, 3B-10' S. newport cells per flask added with the Salmonella-negative meat
homogenate. Salmonella poly H serum in flasks lB, 2B, and 3B.
