A sensitive and rapid method for the identification of organisms isolated on membrane filters is outlined, a centrifugal treatment being employed. The application of this method to the specific problem of beer filtration is discussed, and relevant growth characteristics of beer lactobacilli are described. The technique is applicable to the determination of low degrees of bacterial infection of yeast.
