Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid detection of chlorine-induced bacterial injury by the direct viable count method using image analysis.
TL;DR: This article corrects the article on p. 389 in vol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid enumeration of viable bacteria by image analysis
TL;DR: Under optimal conditions, the modification of the direct viable count method in combination with image analysis microscopy provided an efficient and quantitative technique for counting viable bacteria in a short time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of substrates and phosphate on INT (2-(4-iodophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl tetrazolium chloride) and CTC (5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride) reduction in Escherichia coli
TL;DR: It appeared CTC formed increasing amounts of poorly or non-fluorescent formazan with increasing phosphate, and use of phosphate buffer in excess of 10 mmol l-1 may not be appropriate in CTC and INT reduction assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Fluorescence Microscopy and Solid-Phase Cytometry Methods for Counting Bacteria in Water
TL;DR: The results indicate that when the numbers of bacterial cells per filter were progressively reduced below 105, the microscopic methods increasingly overestimated the true bacterial abundance, and the solid-phase cytometer method for conducting total direct counts of bacteria was less biased and performed significantly better than any of the microscope methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Recovery Methods to Detect Coliforms in Water
TL;DR: A 2-h enrichment on a rich, nonselective medium before exposure to selective media improved the recovery of fecal coliforms with membrane filtration techniques, and an enrichment period appears to provide a nontoxic environment for the gradual adjustment and repair of injured cells.
