Higher temperatures applied for the determination of coliform bacteria in beer.Peer-reviewed article

V. BARTL

To separate coliform bacteria of human origin, which are important from hygienic and epidemiological point of view, from other coliform bacteria, which only indicate poor sanitary conditions at the plants in question, a new method has been developed and its principal feature is a higher cultivation temperature, viz. 43 ˚ C. The method permits to separate the majority of E. coli of the I type and some irregular strains. Ii has been found, that the lower is the temperature of cultivation, the higher is the number of coliform bacteria in beer.
