Abstract
Colony counts obtained by (a) analysts and (b) an automatic colony counter (ACC) were compared to a true count obtained through use of photographs. Factors which caused counting dificulties with the ACC were identified. When plates were properly screened, ACC counts were as accurate as those obtained manually; therefore, it is recommended that further study of ACCs be conducted so that consideration may be given to their use in the forthcoming edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products.
