dc.description.abstractSwarming of Bacillus spp. on agar plates may interfere with enumeration or isolation of bacteria in pickled, canned or fried fish products. A new medium containing sodium tripolyphosphate, EDTA disodium salt, dihydrate, sodium desoxycholate, supplemented with minerals and nutrient sources was developed, which was effective in inhibiting swarming of Bacillus spp. This medium polyphosphate-EDTA-desoxycholate agar (PEDA) was compared with tryptone glucose extract agar (Oxoid) for determining total plate count of various semi-conserved fishery products. While promoting discrete colony formation of Bacillus spp., PEDA provided good bacterial recovery. PEDA is recommended for isolation or enumeration of bacteria in [sea foods] dominated by swarming Bacillus spp.en_US
