Opis

Traditional microbiology has used plate-counting in the lab. This book presents novel fast and automated techniques to quantify bacterial contamination of liquids within minutes to hours, making monitoring, and even process control based on microbiology, feasible for increased safety, security, and cost savings. This book covers enzymatic and molecular techniques from those at an early stage of development to emerging and established techniques.
