Enumeration of Coliforms and E. coli Objective The objective of this experiment was to compare and contrast several different enumeration methods, which were used to determine the approximate microbial populations in foods. The enumeration methods that are performed in this experiment are the spread plate, Petrifilm plate, and spiral plate for aerobic plate count, coliform, Petrifilm Violet Red Bile (VRB), and most probable number (MPN) techniques. Materials and Methods Please refer to the FDST (MIBO) 4030 Lab Manual for the materials and methods used for this experiment1. Results Table 1 Aerobic plate Method Coliform Forming Unit (cfu/mL) Spiral Plate 2.20E3 Spread Plate 1.80E4 Petrifilm Plate 2.01E4 When plotting the data for the Aerobic plate methods, that can be seen in Table 1, we discovered that the results range from 2.20E3 colony forming units/mL to 2.01E4 colony forming units/mL, which is a difference of almost 10 folds. The method with the least colony forming units per mL is the spiral plate method with 2.2E3, followed by the spread plate with 1.8E4, and lastly the Petrifilm plate method with the greatest count of 2.01E4.
