Spore-forming bacteria, Paenibacillus, was identified by researchers from the Milk Quality Improvement Program at Cornell Universitys College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
High temperature, short time (HTST) milk pasteurisation kills off the majority of spoilage-causing microbes. However certain bacterial strains, such as Paenibacillus, can survive the heat treatment process as spores and cause milk to spoil during storage.
The Cornell University researchers documented their findings in
