Membrane filter staining method: bacterial plate counts in 24 H

K M Tse et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1984 Aug.

Abstract

We describe a technique to stain bacterial colonies on membrane filters. The procedure yielded reliable and reproducible bacterial plate counts in 24 h. The procedure can be applied to treated and untreated water samples requiring prompt analysis.
