Chapter 8 Flashcards
Mention and explain methods of surface sampling
- Surface slides
- thin slices, scalpels and forceps - Rinse and wash
- sterile diluents (ten part by weight), washings initial 10^-1 dilution) - Swab
quantitative results, area to be examined defined by previously sterilized template - Impression method
- transfer mo directly - Adhesive tape
- investigation of microflora on human skin/surfaces
- tapes and labels self sterilizing - Agar sausage
- agar is cut, exposed part is pressed and removed, impressed, incubate
Impression techniques and adhesive tape transfer do not allow dilution series (small microbes load)
impression tech, adhesive tape, contact slides, swabs = non destructive
How to transport and store frozen samples?
- solid co2
- insulated containers
- deep freezer
How to transport and store unfrozen samples?
1, shouldn’t be frozen
2. if unavoidable, chilled and kept @ 4 degree c
qualitative analysis:
biochemical reaction, enzymatic reaction, redox potential reaction. ex: proteolytic activity, carbs, lipids
proteolytic activity:
hydrolysis of gelatin, casein, coagulated serum, protein2, deamination, nitrate reduction
Test for presence of active enzymes:
catalase, oxidase, coagulase test
Reactions involving carbs & other compounds
starch, sugar, litmus milk
Reactions involving lipids and phospolipids
hydrolysis of tributyrin, butter fat, tween, lecithin
Quantitative analysis:
- Direct microscopic count
- no incubation, simplest method
- rapid, stained n read later, ez equipment, morphological and/or gram strain identified
disadvantages:
- harus banyak mo, small qty ga precise, debris, analyst fatigue - Colony count method:
- plating tech: pour plate & surface/spread plate
Semi-quantitative method
Most probable number
DMC Standardization of equipment for food films:
calibrated by the breed DMC< MF 300,000-600,000
Explain method of DMC step by step
- loop
- draw loop sample vertically, transfer n spread 0.01 ml portion over 1 cm^2 area, prepared films should be dried without delay over the 1 cm area 40-45 degree c, dried within 5 mins, place a drop of immersion oil
- count separate fields, start midway at the top/bottom. kalo banyak, repeat 2 ,m away dri awal
What’s the function of counting chamber?
enumerate bacteria, yeast, and mold spores or hyphae fragments. = hymacytometer
