Abstract
A new medium containing sodium tripolyphosphate, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt, dihydrate, sodium desoxycholate, supplemented with minerals and nutrient sources was developed, which was very effective in inhibiting swarming of Bacillus spp. This medium polyphosphate-EDTA-desoxycholate agar (PEDA) was compared with tryptone glucose extract agar (Oxoid) for determining the total plate count of various semi-conserved fishery products. While promoting discrete colony formation of Bacillus spp., PEDA provided good bacterial recovery. PEDA is recommended for isolation or enumeration of bacteria in food dominated by swarming Bacillus spp.
