The effect of phosphate on the heat resistance of spores of dairy isolates of Geobacillus stearothermophilus.

This study provides insight into the heat resistance and the increased heat sensitivity of spores of G. stearothermophilus A1, D1 and P3 in the presence of phosphate, which can be used in the design of Cleaning in Place (CIP) systems involving phosphate based cleaning agents to combat biofilms and spores in the dairy industry.
