Method Description
The enumeration of Alicyclobacillus using BAT (Bromocresol Purple Acid Tyrosine) Agar plates involves selective culturing to quantify the presence of this bacterium in samples. Following inoculation and incubation, Alicyclobacillus colonies appear as characteristic purple to pink colonies against the yellow background of the agar. By counting these colonies, the method provides a quantitative assessment of Alicyclobacillus contamination in various matrices, aiding in assessing product quality and safety in food and beverage industries.
