Microdot method: used with chromogenic agar is a useful procedure for sanitary monitoring in aquaculture

The microdot method is a downscaling methodology of traditional tenfold serial dilution procedure used in microbiology. The microdot method uses 100 µL for serial dilution and count colonies in a spot of 10 µL. In this study we counted colonies directly in a chromogenic agar plate to determine, at t...
