Detection of bacterial contamination in starch and resin-based papermaking chemicals using fluorescence techniques.
J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol

Article Synopsis
- Rapid fluorescence techniques were tested for identifying bacterial contamination in papermaking chemicals like starch and resin-based sizes.
- Fluorescent probes, especially LIVE/DEAD and SYBR Green, proved most effective in distinguishing viable from non-viable bacterial cells under microscopy and flow cytometry.
- While fluorescence microscopy gave bacterial counts similar to traditional plate counts, flow cytometry often showed lower counts, with detection limits varying between the two methods.
