The use of the membrane-filter method for determination of coliform organisms in pasteurized and certified milk permits a more rapid counting of coliform colonies with the elimination of much of the plating procedure used with the conventional determination methods. Results of analysis for coliform content can be preserved on the membranes for future reference. Large quantities of milk can be examined rapidly through the use of the centrifuge in the method outlined. Endo-agar was used in this work as the differential agar medium.

The number of mesophilic aerobic colonies was determined in 72 samples of mono- and multifloral honey from various sources by the plate count and the membrane filter methods. The presence of motile colonies made the plate counts unreliable. The microorganism producing these colonies was identified as Bacillus alvei. Colony counts could only be carried out in 27 of the samples when using the plate count method, while with the membrane filter method the number of colonies was counted in all the samples.
