Súhrn: The growth response of Lactobacillus plantarum as affected by incubation temperature was studied in various media. Parameters resulting from growth curves were analysed in secondary phase using the Ratkowsky model and cardinal temperature model with inflection (CTMI) in a temperature range from 8 °C to 40 °C. Using Ratkowsky model, minimal and maximal temperatures (Tmin and Tmax) were calculated for de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth, milk and lactose-free milk, respectively (Tmin = 0.9 °C, Tmax = 41.6 °C; Tmin = 7.1 °C, Tmax = 41.2 °C; Tmin = 4.7 °C, Tmax = 41.6 °C) and compared with CTMI model that provided also optimal growth temperatures (Topt) in MRS broth (Topt = 36.6 °C, Tmin = 2.0 °C, Tmax = 41.0 °C), milk (Topt = 34.7 °C, Tmin = 7.8 °C, Tmax = 41.0 °C) and lactose-free milk (Topt = 34.2 °C, Tmin = 5.4 °C, Tmax = 41.4 °C). Optimal specific growth rates of 0.81 h-1, 0.52 h-1 and 0.40 h-1 were estimated from the experiments performed in MRS broth, milk and lactose-free milk, respectively. Results of the modelling can be taken into account to optimize fermentation processes in which Lb. plantarum strains are used.
