ABSTRACT:
The presence and a quantitative estimate of microorganisms in a sample is determined by monitoring the growth of vertical subsurface colonies in a soft agar medium. A culture cell containing the sample-agar mixture is positioned on a rotating circular index table and, at an inspection station, a video camera monitors colony growth with an image processor and computer processing the output of the video camera. Select output parameters include, but are not restricted to, colony counts and growth rates, morphological variations and identification criteria.
