Estimating abundunce and single-cell characteristics of respiring bacteria via the redox dye CTC

Creator:

Sherr, Barry F., del Giorgio, Paul, and Sherr, Evelyn

Abstract:

The redox dye 5-cyano-2, 3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride (CTC) is used in aquatic sciences as a vital stain for enumeration of respiring bacteria in situ. Questions concerning its efficacy have been raised. We propose that the abundance of CTC-positive (CTC+) bacteria is a useful parameter in microbial ecology based on the...
