Effects of Carbohydrates upon the Rates of the Decomposition of Fish Muscle by Bactcria

Abstract

K_ENDALL, ^{(1, 2)} D_EB_ORD, ⁽³⁾ B_OEHNCKE, ⁽⁴⁾ A_UBER et C_OLIN, ^{(5, 6)} J_ONES, ^{(7, 8)} K_ENDALL, and K_EITH, ⁽⁹⁾ Glenn, ⁽¹⁰⁾ B_ERMAN and R_ETTGER, ⁽¹¹⁾ K_ENDALL, D_AY and W_ALKER, ⁽¹²⁾ and M_EYERHOF and B_URK ⁽¹⁸⁾ have reported on the effects of carbohydrates upon nitrogenous metabolism by bacteria.
But so far as I am aware, nothing is known of the relation between the decomposition of fish muscle by bacteria and the compounds in question. The present paper embodies my observations on the effects of carbohydrates upon the rates of the decomposition of fish muscle by bacteria, and on the growth rates of bacteria in the fish muscle media containing carbohydrates.
