Animal feeding stuffs - Isolation and enumeration of presumptive Bacillus spp
This European Standard defines general rules for the enumeration of probiotic bacilli in feeds containing bacilli (Bacillus species) as a single microorganism, component or mixed with other microorganisms. This method is not applicable to mineral feeds which are defined as complementary feeding stuffs composed mainly of minerals and containing at least 40% crude ash (Council Directive 79/373/EEC) [3].
There are different categories of feed samples:
a) Additives containing about 1010 colony forming units (CFU)/g;
b) Premixtures containing about 108 CFU/g;
c) Feeds, meal or pellets, which contain about 106 CFU/g and include complete feeding stuffs, and milk replacers.
The detection limits are 500 (5 x 102) colony forming units per gram (CFU/g). The limits of determination are 2 x 104 CFU/g.
Futtermittel - Keimzählung von vermutlichen Bacillus spp
Diese Internationale Norm legt allgemeine Regeln für die Zählung von probiotischen Bazillen in Futtermitteln fest, die Bazillen (Bacillus spp.) als einzelnen Mikroorganismus, als Bestandteil oder gemischt mit anderen Mikroorganismen enthalten. Dieses Verfahren ist nicht anwendbar auf mineralische Futtermittel, die als Ergänzungsfuttermittel definiert sind, hauptsächlich aus Mineralien zusammengesetzt sind und mindestens 40 % Rohasche enthalten (Richtlinie 79/373/EWG).
Es gibt unterschiedliche Kategorien von Futtermittelproben:
- Zusatzstoffe, die etwa 1010 KbE/g enthalten;
- Vormischungen, die etwa 108 KbE/g enthalten;
- Futtermittel, Mehl oder Pellets, die etwa 106 KbE/g enthalten und fertige Futtermittel und Milchersatz berücksichtigen.
Die Nachweisgrenzen liegen bei 500 (5 102) koloniebildenden Einheiten je Gramm (KbE/g). Die Bestim¬mungsgrenzen liegen bei 2 104 KbE/g.

Introduction This methodology has been developed to enumerate and differentiate probiotic bacilli spores capable of germinating, to enable the European Commission to control proper labelling of animal feeding products (EU project SMT4-CT98-2235 - “Methods for the official control of probiotics (microorganisms) used in animals feeds“) [1]. Vegetative cells are not taken into account in this method, as all approved Bacillus species products at present are spores. Spores of Bacillus species survive a heat-treatment at 80 °C for 10 minutes and the Bacillus species characteristic colony morphology of the individually authorised strains is examined using the proposed method [2]. This method is not selective for probiotic bacilli but can be applied to enumerate bacilli in additives, premixtures and feeding stuffs assuming that the probiotic bacilli are present in far higher numbers than any other bacilli.
If the feeding stuffs are “contaminated” with a high level of non-probiotic Bacillus species it can be recommended to use a procedure based on antibiotics for more specific selective counting, taking the antibiotic resistance profile of the different Bacillus strains into account.

For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 6887-1, Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs - Preparation of test samples, initial suspension and decimal dilutions for microbiological examination - Part 1: General rules for the preparation of the initial suspension and decimal dilutions (ISO 6887-1:1999) EN ISO 7218, Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs - General requirements and guidance for microbiological examinations (ISO 7218:2007) ISO 6498, Animal feeding stuffs – Preparation of test samples 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1
bacilli (described by their characteristics as used for this standard)
bacteria of the genus Bacillus which form colonies fitting the descriptions of these species, on the surface of Tryptone Soy Agar (TSA) after heat treatment and incubation at 37°C for 16 h to 24 h under aerobic conditions
Morphology of colonies on TSA of four Bacillus species: a) Bacillus subtilis: 3 mm to 8 mm in diameter, round, surface dull, opaque, wrinkled and cream or brown coloured; b) Bacillus cereus and Bacillus coagulans: 3 mm to 8 mm in diameter, dull or of frosted glass appearance and undulate shaped; SIST EN 15784:2009
EN 15784:2009 (E) 6 c) Bacillus licheniformis: 4 mm to 8 mm diameter, convex, from matt, chondroid, to very mucous, lobbulated, shape surrounded by smaller sub-colonies. The central mucous part of a colony may dry up and become flat, white and opaque while the colonies are still surrounded by small, mucous sub-colonies. Some parts of a colony will adhere more strongly to the substrate than others. 3.2
colony count of presumptive probiotic Bacillus species number of colony-forming units (CFU) which is counted and calculated according to the procedure outlined in this standard 4 Principle An initial suspension of the sample is prepared in a diluent using a suitable homogeniser. From this one new dilution is prepared and heat-treated at 80 °C for 10 min. Decimal dilutions are prepared from the heat treated sample and are spread plated on TSA agar and incubated at 37 °C for 16 h to 24 h aerobically. Colonies of Bacillus species are counted and the number of colony forming units per g or kg is calculated. 5 Diluents and selective medium 5.1 Diluents 5.1.1 Diluent for initial suspension This diluent is used to decimally dilute the sample to prepare an initial sample suspension (10-1) in appropriate containers (e.g. universals, bottles or flasks).
5.1.1.1 Initial diluent for additives
Phosphate buffered saline (PBS): Dissolve 8 g sodium chloride, 0,2 g potassium chloride, 1,15 g disodium hydrogen phosphate, 0,2 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, pH 7,3 ± 0,2 in 1 l of distilled water. Aliquote this saline into appropriate containers (e.g. universals, bottles or flasks). Autoclave all capped containers with the initial diluent at 121 °C ± 1 °C for 10 min. To avoid loss during autoclaving, screw cap bottles are recommended. Bring the diluent to room temperature before use. Measure the pH of the diluent to ensure the suitable buffer capacity. 5.1.1.2 Initial diluent for feeding stuffs and premixes 0,2% sodium hydroxide solution: Dissolve 2 g sodium hydroxide in one litre of distilled water, Dispense aliquots of this solution appropriate to the initial dilution of feed pellets into capped flasks. Autoclave all capped flasks containing the diluent at 121 °C ± 1 °C for 15 min. Bring the diluent to room temperature before use. 5.1.2 Diluent for serial dilutions, polysorbate peptone salt solution This diluent is used to decimally dilute the initial sample suspension and subsequent dilutions.
Peptone salt solution: SIST EN 15784:2009
EN 15784:2009 (E) 7 A peptone salt solution is made complying with EN ISO 6887-1. Compose the solution of enzymatic digest of 1 g casein such as pancreatic peptone of casein (or peptone of same quality)
and 8,5 g sodium chloride) per liter (l)
distilled water. Dissolve the ingredients in water. Adjust the pH to 7,0 ± 0,2 at 25 °C ± 1 °C. For decimal dilutions, prepare test tubes containing 9,0 ml ±
0,1 ml after sterilisation or use screw cap bottles to avoid weight loss during autoclaving. Sterilise in the autoclave for 15 min at 121 °C ± 1 °C. Bring the diluent to room temperature before use. 5.2 Medium Use Tryptone Soy Agar1) as a culture medium.
