A Comparison of two Agar Media for Counting Soil Micro-Organisms
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
1. Eighty counts of soil bacteria and actinomycetes, made on mannite-asparagine agar and dextrose-casein agar, showed that the latter medium gave significantly higher numbers of bacteria in 76 per cent. of cases, and significantly higher numbers of actinomycetes in 60 per cent. of cases.
2. On mannite-asparagine agar the values of χ2 of the bacterial counts were as a whole in agreement with expectation. The counts of actinomycetes colonies on this medium showed a tendency to subnormal variation.
