Culture-independent bacterial cell extraction from fluid milk and oat-based beverage for basic qualitative microscopy Reichler, Samuel Martin, Nicole H. Wiedmann, Martin Orta-Ramirez, Alicia Llet -- Microbiologia Bacteris Microscopic techniques can provide rapid information for diagnosing microbial milk quality issues, but the butterfat and protein in milk can prevent microscopic visualization of bacteria. We describe a method to separate the bacterial cells in a milk sample from the protein and butterfat, allowing for better microscopic visualization. We adapted this method for use in chocolate milk and plant-based beverages as well. Use of this culture-independent method can reduce the amount of time needed to characterize the cause of bacterial spoilage, allowing for dairy stakeholders to respond more quickly to spoilage incidents. 2025-05-15T19:18:06Z 2025-05-15T19:18:06Z 2025-05-15T19:18:06Z 2022-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14342/3706 https://doi.org/10.3168/jdsc.2022-0320 eng JDS Communications, 2023, vol. 4, núm. 2, p. 65-69 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess © L'autor/a Attribution 4.0 International American Dairy Science Association
