Abstract: The growth characteristics of two Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. p for short ) stains were studied by using the method of predicive microbiology. The primary and secondary predictive models of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus were cre?? ated based on their growth conditions at 4- 40. The result showed that the Gompertz model was found to fit with the experimental curves which are typical sigmoidal at fitting temperature and the Monod funct ion were found to f it with the experimental curves at low temperature. The secondary models for the effects of temperaturewere modeled. Data process?? ing of the model has shown the minimum growth temperature, the maximum growth temperature and the optimal growth temperature for two V. p stains. Validation of the models showed that the residual difference of predicted and observed value was within 0.05, and the values of bias factor and accuracy factor were also acceptable statistically. The predictive models are highly reliable. Also, the discussion was given for the application of the predictive model.
