What is CFU vs MPN: Key Differences Explained about?

CFU (Colony Forming Unit) and MPN (Most Probable Number) are methods used to enumerate viable microorganisms in samples, with CFU calculated from colonies on solid agar plates and MPN from liquid cultures. CFU is expressed as CFU/ml or CFU/g, while MPN is expressed per 100 ml of sample. Both methods are essential for assessing water quality and microbial presence in various fields such as food processing and sewage treatment.
