Bacterial Decomposition of Extractive Matter of Meat of Aquatic Animals

Abstract

I have previously reported 1) that the rate and the velocity of the bacterial decomposition of the extractive matter of a meat vary with the kind of aquatic animals and that these are nearly constant in the case of the extractive matter of a definite aquatic animal. The present paper embodies my observations on the rate and the velocity of the bacterial decomposition of the mixtures in various concentrations of two kinds of the extractive matter (red meat fish such as Scomber japonicus and white meat fish such as Palalichthys olivaceus), and on the growth of bacteria in the solutions of the mixtures.
