Can anybody out there help me with staining tricks? We've been trying
to enumerate respiring and non-respiring bacteria (pseudomonas
and flavobacteria) using fluorescence microscopy, but so far results
are questionable at best. We are currently using a combination of
Acridine Orange and INT dyes.
Any suggestions and ideas? Different stains or other procedures are
most welcome.
TIA
