Use of Resazurin To Rapidly Enumerate Bdellovibrio and Like Organisms and Evaluate Their Activities

ABSTRACT A method to rapidly quantify predatory bacterial cell populations using resazurin reduction to resorufin and its resulting fluorescence kinetics (dF/dt) are described. The reliability of this method to measure the predatory populations was demonstrated with the type strain, Bdellovibrio bac...
