| Abstract | A detailed bacteriological survey of the prawn canneries of Cochin area was carried out to study the nature and type of microorganisms present in the factory environs and their role in causing contamination of the canned products. About 26% of the total of 1030 strains isolated were found to be gram positive spore-formers of the Bacillus type, the cooling water being their major source. Similar types of organisms formed the major group often met with in defective canned prawn samples picked up from the factories for examination, thus establishing a correlation between bacterial characteristics and load of cooling water and can cantamination. |
