HI,
Would like to know which of the two should be followed in enviornmental monitoring
(a) First incubate at 20-25°C temperature for 72 hours for fungal growth and then same plates transferred to 30-35°C for further 48 hours for bacterial growth.
(b) First incubate at 30-35°C temperature for 48 hours for bacterial growth and then same plates transferred to 20-25°C for further 72 hours for fungal growth.
These two concepts are there but which incubation condition should be selected to recover both bacteria and fungus effectively?
Thanks
Michelle
