The germination behaviors of spores of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, which has been considered to be a causative microorganism of flat sour type spoilage in acidic beverages, were investigated. The spores of A. acidoterrestris showed efficient germination and outgrowth after heat activation (80 degrees C, 20 min) in Potato dextrose medium (pH 4.0). Further, the spores treated with heat activation germinated in McIlvaine buffer (pH 4.0) in the presence of a germinative substance (L-alanine) and commercial fruit juices, although not in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). Heat activation was necessary for germination. The spores of A. acidoterrestris, which easily survived the heat treatment in acidic conditions, lost their resistance to heat during germination. Our results suggest that the models obtained from spore germination of A. acidoterrestris might be beneficial to determine adequate thermal process in preventing the growth of potential spoilage bacteria in acidic beverages.
