2.6. Population count
Yeast and bacterial populations in the fermented mash were
calculated by serially diluting the substrate (fermented mahula
slurry) in distilled water and plating suitable dilution (106–108)
on Petri plates (18 mm 150 mm) containing either MYGP (for S.
cerevisiae) and ZSM (for Z. Mobilis) medium. Data were given as
mean of three replicates.
