Abstract:
This method is suitable for the enumeration of slime-forming bacteria in refined sugars. The method utilises two possible procedures, using either a pour plate technique (better for coloured sugars and higher levels of bacteria) or a filtration through a sterile membrane filter. Samples are incubated at 30 °C for 48 hours.
