The changes in the aerobic flora of meats stored at 15, 9 and 4° have been compared by means of selective media and by screening representative isolates. By both methods the predominant spoilage flora at the three temperatures belonged to the genus Pseudomonas . Using the medium of Masurvosky, Goldblith & Voss (1963) preliminary investigations have been made into the numbers of pseudomonads in meats.
