A note on the isolation of psychrotrophic coliform organisms from faecal-polluted environments
1Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid, Spain.
Abstract:
The Simmons citrate salicin (SCS) medium was developed for the enrichment and isolation of presumptive psychrotrophic coliforms from polluted environments. The selectivity and resolution of the medium were tested with pure and mixed laboratory cultures. A procedure for the isolation of psychrotrophic coliforms from polluted environments using a lactose-bile broth and SCS medium is presented.
