Automated Counting of Microbial Colonies [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1970 The time required for direct counting of colonies on agar plates for estimating population density of viable microorganisms has precluded studies requiring measurement of such a parameter. Bowman, Blume, and Vurek have described a photo-electrical capillary tube scanner which automates the counting.

Colony Counts on Strips of Agar in Tubes [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1950 SUMMARY: For viable counting, 0.1 ml. volumes of bacterial suspension were incorporated in 1.5-2 ml. nutrient agar, which after mixing was allowed to solidify in an almost horizontal test-tube so as to produce a 3–4 in. agar strip. After incubation in the vertical position, the counts of the strips gave estimates of a bacterial population which did not

Managed honey bee colony losses in Canada, China, Europe, Israel and Turkey, for the winters of 2008-9 and 1009-10 [PDF]
, 2012 In 2008 the COLOSS network was formed by honey bee experts from Europe and the USA. The primary objectives set by this scientific network were to explain and to prevent large scale losses of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies.

The counting of surface colonies of bacteria [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 1948 A colony count performed by spreading a known volume of suspension on the surface of a plate possesses certain advantages over other methods, of which the chief is ease of counting.The distribution of counts of several samples of the same suspension on medium of the same age and batch is as expected on statistical grounds.Different batches and ages of ...
