A study was conducted to determine microbial count of sugar palm sap collected by aseptic technique and by traditional method and to classify microorganisms present in the sap.

Microbial analysis using Plate Count Agar revealed no microbial count in sap collected by microbial analysis using PDA as a culturing media; it did not give any fungal growth in aseptic technique. Sap collected by traditional method gave a bacterial count of 5x10'° cfu/ml in PCA and fungal count of 2.99x10"° cfu/ml in PDA.

Morphological characteristics and colony growth of bacterial colonies indicated probable presence of Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and Lactobacillus for gram negative bacteria and Bacillus cereus, Salmonella and Pseudomonas for gram negative bacteria.
