Abstract
Washed cells of Vibrio parahaemolyticus declined in numbers when incubated in phosphate-buffered saline for 6 h at different temperatures. Addition of chitin flakes to phosphate-buffered saline not only helped the organism to survive, but also resulted in an increase in cell numbers, particularly at 10 degrees C. The effect of chitin could not be simulated by N-acetylglucosamine, yeast extract, starch, or casein.
