Anaerobic and Aerobic Bacteria Counts and Enterobacteriaceae isolated from Kimuchi

Abstract

This study was carried out to clarify the microorganisum of Kimchi. The results were as follows;
1. Anaerobic and aerobic bacteria Counts isolated from Kimuchi were 10²-10⁸/g and 10³-10⁸/g, respectively.
2. The microflora (134 strains) isolated from Kimchi was classified into gram positive rods (106strains), gram positive coccus (19 strains) and gram negative rods (9 strains).
3. The genus of Family Enterobacteriaceae (53 strains) isolated from Kimchi was consisted of Enterobacter (36 strains), Serratia (2 strains), Klebsiella (3 strains), Hafnia (1 strain) and others.
