Evaluation of a new medium for the enumeration of total coliforms and Escherichia coli in Japanese surface waters

Aim:  A new medium, EC‐Blue‐10, containing chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates, KNO3 and sodium pyruvate has been developed for the rapid simultaneous detection and enumeration of total coliforms and Escherichia coli in water.
