Bacillus cereus<br />

Bacterial cells were still viable at a high rate in both Ringer’s solution and Growth<br />

media. Cell numbers did fall but appeared to reach a stable level <strong>of</strong> 3.1x10 4 cfu/ml in<br />

Ringer’s solution and 1.2x10 4 cfu/ml in growth media by day 3. There was no<br />

significant difference between the cell concentrations in Ringer’s solution and media<br />

at day 5 (Fig. 5).<br />
