Improved direct viable count procedure for quantitative estimation of bacterial viability in freshwater environments.
A direct viable count (DVC) procedure was developed which clearly and easily discriminates the viability of bacterial cells. In this quantitative DVC (qDVC) procedure, viable cells are selectively lysed by spheroplast formation caused by incubation with antibiotics and glycine. This glycine effect leads to swollen cells with a very loose cell wall. The viable cells then are lysed easily by a si...
متن کاملMetabolic activity of bacterial cells enumerated by direct viable count.
The direct viable count (DVC) method was modified by incorporating radiolabeled substrates in microautoradiographic analyses to assess bacterial survival in controlled laboratory microcosms. The DVC method, which permits enumeration of culturable and nonculturable cells, discriminates those cells that are responsive to added nutrients but in which division is inhibited by the addition of nalidi...
متن کاملEcological implications of an improved direct viable count method for aquatic bacteria.
The direct viable count method first described by Kogure et al. (Can. J. Microbiol. 25:415-420, 1979) was improved by using an antibiotic cocktail instead of nalidixic acid alone. We screened 100 marine isolates from two coastal areas for their sensitivities to five replication-inhibiting antibiotics, including four quinolones (nalidixic, piromidic, and pipemidic acids and ciprofloxacin) and on...

متن کاملAn Improved Procedure for the Quantitative Estimation of the Rust Fungus in Infected Plant Tissue
A quantitative estimation of the rust fungus in infected wheat leaves was possible following enzymatic hydrolysis of the chitin and colorimetric determination of the N-acetylglucosamine released. The apparently complex cell wall structure of the fungal structures made it necessary, how ever, to use an enzyme mixture of chitinase and cellulase in order to make accessible the chitin of the cell ...
