At present thecolititre of water is almost universally determined by fermentation tests in sugar-containing media; the fermentation method of Eijkman (glucose-peptone solution at 46°2) and that of Bulir (neutral-red mannite bouillon at 46°) are current in many European countries, while in America fermentation in lactose bouillon at 37° is the standard test. Fermentation tests at 37° in lactose-containing media with the addition of bile and bactericidal dyes are also widely used (Great Britain, America).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
