have reported that low O2 concentration (>50%)
inhibits the growth of many H2S-producers including
S. putrefaciens, due to its effect on the bacterial enzymes.
Among the gram positive fish spoilers, Brochothrix thermosphacta
is a facultative anaerobic bacterium, which is known to grow
under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. There was an
extension of 5 days in the lag phase of B. thermosphacta in fish
sample packed with AM film. On the day of sensory rejection, the
count of B. thermosphacta reached 6, 5.5, 7 and 6.9 log cfu g1
