INTRODUCTION Total Viable Count is a quantitative idea about the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ yeast and mold in a sample. It counts the number of colonies produced by a very dilute suspension of bacteria on an agar plate and to observe the differential staining behaviour of the living bacteria. This involves counting the colonies produced by viable cells under favourable growth conditions. Some techniques needed before the viable count‚ like pour plate method‚ spread plate method

Microbiology is a field of science which typically is divided into several areas such as: bacteriology‚ virology‚ parasitology and immunology. The goal of microbiology is to increase the specific knowledge of a known microorganism and by extension counter the spread of harmful microorganisms and to learn practical applications of research results. A microbiologist studies the structure‚ metabolism‚ genetics and ecology of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi or algae. A microbiologist
