When I detect spores, are there any specific tests? Will the presence of spores in a food product show colonies in TPC? If yes how to differentiate the two
Gaurav Sharma
First things first, are you talking about bacterial spores or fungal spores? because techniques for detecting both the spores are different.

1. When we check TPC will bacterial or fungal growth be observed?
2. If yes, then how to check fungal spores? how to check bacterial spores? Other than BAM method for B. cerus

When you perform the total plate count you will be able to observe the growth of fungus as well as bacteria.
Once there is growth on the plate you can perform different staining techniques and after microscopic examination you can perform confirmatory spore staining
