This test allows the quantitative and species specific detection of the anaerobic beer spoiling Pectinatus species. 

Pectinatus spoils beer by production of a very unpleasent smell, reminding of rotten eggs, and acid production. Pectinatus bacteria are extremely sensititve to oxygen and therefore hard to detect by enrichment only. If they grow then they usually show the typicel spiral formed long rods, often motile.
