Abstract
Summary: The micro‐organisms in tap water were quantitatively (99%) retained by Oxoid membrane filters. The trapped organisms were extracted from the membrane filter by a simple washing process using glass beads or a magnetic stirrer. For counts on air, the membrane filter was considerably more efficient than an ammonium alginate filter in trapping bacteria, but both techniques were equally satisfactory for moulds.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
