diffusion test For determining of bacterial resistance to alginate-LPOS coating, disc diffusion test was conducted. In this procedure, antimicrobial activity of the coating on specific bacteria including Pseudomonas fluorescens NCTC 10038, Escherichia coli NCTC 12241 was investigated. These organism significantly can be found in in chicken meat (Molin and Ternström 1982; Montville and Matthews 1997). LPOS in concentrations of 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% was added to solution 2.…
