Summary of Test Method3.1 Samples of brine-cured hides and skins, raceway brine,or pre-charge raceway liquor are serially diluted and plated onagar containing 7 % NaCl and casein from skim milk. Theplates are incubated under aerobic conditions at 35C for 48 h.After incubation, t

7、o determine salt tolerant (halophilic)bacteria, all colonies are counted. To determine bacteria thatcan hydrolyze protein (proteolytic), the plates are flooded withdilute acid and the colonies showing a “halo” (semi-clearzones) are counted.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method enumerates salt

8、tolerant (halophilic)bacteria, and proteolytic bacteria that are also salt tolerant.Under the conditions of this test method those bacteria areequated as halophilic organisms.

Preparation of Standard Plate Count AgarNOTE 2Omit steps 9.1 9.5 if using Reagent 6.4.9.1 Prepare the standard plate count agar per manufacturerlabel directions.9.2 Add 77 g of salt per litre of agar and autoclave for 15min at

20、 121C.9.3 Prepare a 10 % powdered skim milk mixture by adding10 g powdered skim milk to 100 mL DI water, then stirring themixture to dissolve it. Autoclave the mixture for 15 min at121C.9.4 Cool the agar (9.2)to456 1C, then add 100 mL of thesterile 10 % powdered skim milk mixture (9.3) per litre of

21、agar.Rotate bottle gently to mix.NOTE 3Do not allow agar to solidify prior to pouring (9.5).9.5 Pour the sterile agar into petri dishes. Replace the coverand swirl to evenly distribute the agar. Allow to solidify atroom temperature on a flat surface. When solid, invert the petridishes, with the cove

22、r on the bottom, leaving a slight openingto allow the plates to dry for12 h.10. Procedure10.1 Using a sterile scalpel, aseptically weigh a 20 6 0.1gspecimen in a sterile bag. For brine-cured hides and skins,include both flesh and hair side.10.2 Add 180 g of BPD w/salt (6.6) diluent into the samester

23、ile bag (10.1). Stomach or hand-massage for 1 min. Thisprovides a 1:10 dilution.10.3 Prepare the following sample dilutions using 9-mLdilution tubes (BPD w/salt): 10-2,10-3,10-4,10-5,10-6, and 10-7(see Fig. 1).10.3.1 Control BlankIn 10.9, incubate one of the petridishes prepared in 9.5 as-is, with t

24、he sample plates.Example: To obtain a 10-2dilution, mix the 10-1dilution andpipet 1 mL of that 10-1dilution into a 9-mL dilution tube.NOTE 4When transferring the aliquots between the tubes, the analystmust use a different pipet or pipet tip for each transfer.10.4 Pipet an appropriate portion (0.1 mL

25、 or 0.2 mL), of the10-2dilution and place the liquid in the middle of a dried, skimmilk agar plate. (If you expect a high bacteria load use 0.1 mLaliquot, otherwise use 0.2 mL aliquot. If approximate range ofbacteria load is unknown then use both 0.1 and 0.2 aliquots.Refer to Table 1 for Plating Fac

26、tor.)10.5 Flame sterilize a bent glass rod, or obtain a sterile,autoclaved bent glass rod.10.6 Using the glass rod, spread the liquid evenly on theagar surface.10.7 Replace the cover and allow the plate to dry at roomtemperature.10.8 Repeat steps 10.4 10.7 for each dilution.10.9 Invert all plates an

27、d incubate at 35 6 1C for 48 6 3h.10.10 Following incubation, count only those plates thathave 25 250 colonies.NOTE 5If a plate shows confluent growth (i.e. bacterial growth coversthe entire plate, making it impossible to determine the existence ofdiscrete colonies), record that plates count as TNTC

28、 “Too Numerous ToCount”). See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 for diagrams of a countable plate and aTNTC plate, respectively.NOTE 6Halophilic ColoniesCount all the distinct colonies on theplate. If there are similar-appearing colonies growing in close proximitybut not touching, count them as individual colonies,

29、 provided the distancebetween them is at least equal to the diameter of the smallest colony.Colonies that are impinging, and that differ in appearance, such asmorphology or color, are counted as individual colonies. Colonies that area cluster, and are similar in appearance, such as morphology or col

30、or, arecounted as one colony (see arrow Fig. 4 “7:00” position). There mayalso be “spreaders”: a chain of colonies not distinctly separated. Count asone colony if a chain of colonies appears to be caused by disintegration ofa bacterial clump as agar and sample were mixed. Count as one colony ifa spr

31、eader developed as a film of growth between the agar and bottom ofpetri dish. Count as one colony if a colony forms in a film of water at theedge or over the agar surface.3The sole source of supply of the reagent known to the committee at this timeis Edge Biologicals, Inc., Memphis, TN, Cat.# 4P-468

Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of theresponsible technical committee, which you may attend.D7816 12 (2016)2Estimated counts can be made on plates with 250 col

33、onies: report asestimated counts. In making such counts, the standard 15 100 mm petridish is considered to have an area of about 56 cm2, therefore, use a factorof 56 when estimating the count. Example: 0.1mL of a 10-4dilution wasplated and the plate has an average count of 10 colonies per cm2.Theref

34、ore, the estimated count for that plate is 10 56 = 560, and theestimated count for that dilution is 560 10 10,000 = 56,000,000.Estimated counts can also be made on plates with 25 colonies: report asestimated counts.10.11 Record each plates dilution and count on the work-sheet. This initial count is

35、the halophilic count (A).10.12 For the same plate(s) counted in 10.10, flood theplate(s) with 5 % acetic acid.NOTE 7Use enough of the 5 % acetic acid to fully cover the surfaceof the plate.10.13 Pour off the acetic acid and immediately count onlythose colonies surrounded by a semi-clear zone.NOTE 8P

36、roteolytic ColoniesDo not count all the colonies inside thezone; only count the colonies that cause/affect the shape of the zone.Whenidentifying the semi-clear zone(s) it is sometimes helpful to pick up theplate and change the angle of view slightly to determine if it is a true circleor if it has an

37、other protruberance off its edge. (For weak semi-clear zones,it is helpful to rotate the plate in the light to be sure about the clearing.)Look for a circle of clearing around a centrally located colony. If theclearing is an elongated shape such as in the bottom right quadrant of Fig.5 (“5:30” posit

38、ion), break the cleared zone into separate circles of clearing(circles can be of varying sizes) and count the colonies located in thecenters of each of the circles. When there are multiple colonies in the sameclear zone, look to see if the zone is a uniform circle (caused by onecentrally located col

39、ony), or if it appears to have circular bumpsprotruding from the edges of the central circle, each bump being caused bya separate colony.NOTE 9Colonies on the edge of the zone that are not fully encom-passed or do not affect the shape of the zone should not be counted.10.14 Record each plates diluti

40、on and count on the work-sheet. This second count is the proteolytic count (B).11.

Precision and Bias13.1 The precision of this test method is based on aninterlaboratory study of Test Meth

44、od D7816 conducted in2009. One laboratory participated in this study. The laboratoryreported five replicate test results for six different specimentypes. Every “test result” reported represents an individualdetermination. Except for the use of only one laboratory,Practice E691 was followed for the d
