A modified factorial design was used to measure the effects and interactions of temperature (10 to 37°C), pH (5.5 to 7.5), sodium chloride (0.5 to 5.0%), and sodium nitrite (0 to 1000 ppm) on the aerobic growth kinetics of Shigella flexneri in brain heart infusion broth. A total of 592 cultures were analyzed, with growth curves being generated using the Gompertz equation. A quadratic model for growth of S. flexneri in terms of temperature, pH, sodium chloride, and sodium nitrite concentrations was obtained by response surface analysis. This model provides an estimate of bacterial growth in response to any combination of the variables studied within the specified ranges. Estimates obtained with the model compared favorably with growth of S. flexneri in milk.

Size-dependent growth kinetics of vitamin C crystals in water solutions of L(+)-ascorbic acid with the addition of methanol and ethanol Growth kinetics of vitamin C crystals during the batch mass crystallization process in L(+)-ascorbic acid - methanol - ethanol - water system was determined. The linear growth rate values were estimated on the basis of the product crystal size distributions. The kinetic model of the continuous process in a MSMPR crystallizer was adopted for the batch mode description according to Nyvlt's conception, taking the sizedependent growth (SDG) rate effects into consideration. The kinetic parameter values were determined with a Rojkowski hyperbolic SDG model. A good compatibility between the experimental product crystal population density distributions and the SDG model predictions was observed. The interpretation of the kinetic data was presented and discussed.
