Summary
Reconstituted skimmed milk powder containing the insecticides fenvalerate (benzene acetic acid, 4-chloro-α-1-methylcyano-3-phenoxyphenyl methyl ester), malathion (O,O-dimethyl-S-1, 2-bis-ethoxycarbonyl ethyl phosphorothioate) and DDT (2,2-bis-p-chlorophenyl-1,1,1-trichloroethane) in different concentrations (0, 50,100 and 200 ppm) was separately inoculated withStreptococcus lactis subsp.diacetilactis andLeuconostoc cremoris and incubated at 30°C for 120 h. Fenvalerate was more inhibitory towardsL. cremoris than other insecticides. Malathion strongly inhibited growth ofS. diacetilactis. Fenvalerate inhibited acid production byS. diacetilactis, but had no effect on acid production byL. cremoris. S. diacetilactis was in general more sensitive to all insecticides studied thanL. cremoris. S. diacetilactis produced more acidity and less acetaldehyde than those produced byL. cremoris whether in the presence or absence of insecticide.
Résumé
On a inoculé du lait écrémé, reconstitué à partir de poudre, contenant les insecticides fenvalerate (ester méthylique de l'acide 4-chloro-α-1-methylcyano-3-phenoxyphenyl benzene acétique), malathion (O,O-diméthyl-S-1,2-bis-éthoxycarbonyl éthyl phosphorothioate) et DDT (2,2-bis-p-chlorophenyl-1,1,1-trichloroéthane) à différentes concentrations (0, 50, 100 et 200 ppm), par leStreptococcus lactis, subsp.diacetilactis ou par leLeuconostoc cremoris. Après incubation à 30°C pendant 120 h, le fenvalerate s'est révélé plus inhibiteur duL. cremoris que les autres insecticides. Le malathion inhibe fortement la croissance deS. diacetilactis. Le fenvalerate inhibe l'acidogénèse parS. diacetilactis mais n'a aucun effet sur l'acidogénèse deL. cremoris. S. diacetilactis est en général plus sensible à tous les insecticides étudiés queL. cremoris. S. diacetilactis est plus acidogène et produit moins d'acétaldehyde que ne le faitL. cremoris que ce soit en présence ou en absence d'insecticide.
