Why does Brevibacterium grow so slowly?
This is the bacterium which gives an orange color to the rinds of cheeses which are matured in brine or by being rubbed on the surface with salt crystals. It grows in standard peptone-yeast extract-salt media just like E. coli but it takes more than a week for colonies to form where E. coli would grow up in a few hours.
