In contrast, the effect of temperature on the maximal specific
growth rate of B. cereus was studied between 5 ◦C and 40 ◦C by
Choma et al. (2000). Arrhenius plot fitting from experimental
data has been used to establish the variation of the temperature
characteristic, which is analogous to activation energy in
kinetic studies. Arrhenius equation could be used to predict the
effect of temperature on microbial growth rate and substrate
consumption
