Flatmate of mine, 25 years ago, wrote her master's thesis on psychotrophic
bacteria in milk, so I knew what to google for :-)

However, I think this is not really [practically] relevant outside an
industrial environment.
I consider bacterial activity in my frozen food to be slowed by several
magnitudes rather than stopped. Works for me.
