This is the highly anticipated third edition of a book written by the WorkingParty on Culture Media of the International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene. It is a handy reference for microbiologists wanting to know which media to use for the detection of various groups of microbes in foods or water,and how to check the performance of the media. The information and methods described in the first two editions of this book have been widely adopted by practical microbiologists as well as many microbiological media manufacturers. The latest edition concentrates on media for water as well as food microbes - selecting those which have been evaluated and shown to function optimally, and contains a series of chapters on media for different groups of microbes, written by experts from all over the world. This book will prove to be an indispensible resource for academics, postgraduate students and all those working in industry related areas. INDICE: Acknowledgements. Introduction. Part 1.
