Résumé
Proper elimination of bacterial endospores in foods and food processing environment is challenging because of their extreme resistance to various stresses. Often, sporicidal treatments prove insufficient to eradicate the contaminating endospore population as a whole, and might therefore serve as a selection pressure for enhanced endospore resistance. In the sporeforming Bacillus cereus group, Bacillus weihenstephanensis is an important food spoilage organism and potential cereulide producing pathogen, due to its psychrotolerant growth ability at 7 °C. Although the endospores of B. weihenstephanensis are generally less heat resistant compared to their mesophilic or thermotolerant relatives, our data now show that non-emetic B. weihenstephanensis strain LMG 18989
