Title: Applicability of the reverse-flow filter technique to marine microbial studies. Author: Griffiths RP, Hanus FJ, Morita RY. Journal: Appl Microbiol; 1973 Nov; 26(5):687-91. PubMed ID: 4586929. Abstract: The use of the reverse-flow filtration technique to quantitatively concentrate marine bacteria was evaluated using both a pure culture and seawater samples. Our data indicate that the cells are altered during the filtration procedure and that a significant and inconsistent number of cells are lost on the membrane filter. The results obtained indicate that data on marine bacteria concentrated in this manner should be interpreted with caution.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
