- This study evaluates various methods for counting yeast and bacteria cells together to save time and resources compared to traditional methods that analyze them separately.
- Different ratios of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and bacteria (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum) were tested, with results showing that flow cytometry and Coulter Counter worked well for yeast counts, while some methods struggled with bacterial counts, especially at higher yeast concentrations.
- The research highlights that while some methods provide similar results for both cell types, others exhibit significant differences, emphasizing that each method has its own pros and cons depending on the ratio of yeast to bacteria.
