At this concentration and at 13AdegC and 20AdegC, significant decrease in heterotrophic
plate count is not observed at either pH 4.5, 7.0, and 9.5.
Table-1: Mean counts (CFU/g) of aerobic
plate count, total coliform and total yeast/mold count
This reason was reported by NSW Food Authority [17] that the food Grade A as good food has standard
plate count <[10.sup.4] and acceptable food has standard
plate count <[10.sup.6].
3n, 4n, 8n) total
plate count will be the denominator in calculating overall polyploid proportions so that [[summation].sub.[total plate count]] = 2n+3n+4n+...).

Total
plate count (by pour plate method) was determined using
Plate Count Agar incubated at 30[degrees]C for 48 h.
and heterotrophic
plate count bacteria from water used in dental water lines.
Total

plate count was determined by the procedure of Yousaf and Calstrom (2003).
Aerobic
plate counts (APC) and psychrotrophs were performed using standard
plate count agar (PCA; Difco, Becton Dickson, Sparks, MD, USA).
A collection of six samples of the uterine sound instrument in three Health Centers were made, and these samples were cultured and tested for aerobic
plate count through pour plate method.
