Microbial growth at reduced water activities: studies of aw prediction in solutions of compatible solutes
Studies were made of the prediction of intracellular water activity (aw) of microorganisms grown at reduced aw. These included the determination and prediction of aw of potassium L‐glutamate solutions and the prediction of aw in mixed solutions of various compatible solutes and macromolecules. Compa...
