| Abstract: | Investigations have
been undertaken to find out if an enclosed pyramidal structure has any
influence on the growth of microorganisms inside them, as claimed in legendary
literature. Five models were used, four of them being pyramidal in shape and
the fifth with a flat roof. The medium chosen was fresh unboiled milk. The
control was the same milk sample kept in the open. Results subjected to
statistical analysis indicate that there is a noticeable influence of the
pyramidal shape on the rate of growth of microorganisms. Quantitative data have
been supported by visual observations. |
