    • PATHOGENS IN POTATOES
    Sunday, July 11, 2010

    Bacillus cereus is a bacterial that tends to grow in starchy food. Since potato is a starchy food, there may be growth of Bacillus cereus on the potatoes. Bacillus cereus is also commonly found in soil, air & water. Thus, if the potatoes are grown on contaminated soil or uses contaminated water, Bacillus cereus may transfer from these sources to the plant itself. Moreover, Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming microorganism. Therefore, there might be possibility that the pathogen survive even after heating process.
