Microorganisms which survived and grew at 4° or 10°C in ultrapasteurized, aseptically packaged liquid whole egg were isolated and identified. Growth at 4° and 10°C, and inactivation from 50 to 70°C, of selected isolates were evaluated in ultrapasteurized egg. Bacillus circulans and a Pseuriomonas species grew well at 4°C. with generation times of 1.0 and 0.3 days, respectively. Enterococcus fuecalis and B. circulans were the most heat resistant isolates studied. Because B. circulans grew at 4°C and was relatively heat resistant it would be a useful test organism for many applications while E. faecalis would be useful since it was heat resistant and would grow rapidly when the storage temperature is less than ideal.
