Plate Count Agar originally formulated by Bookbinder et al (1) which is recommended by APHA (2, 3, 4) FDA (5) and ISO committee (6). Present formulation is recommended by BIS (7) for enumeration of microorganisms in food, water and wastewater. Casein enzyme hydrolysate provides amino acids and other complex nitrogenous substances. Yeast extract supplies Vitamin B complex. BIS recommends pour plate technique. The samples are diluted and appropriate dilutions are placed in petri plates. Sterile molten agar is added to these plates and plates are rotated gently to ensure uniform mixing of the sample with agar. Plate Count Agar is also suitable for finding out bacterial count from sterile rooms.
