Abstract
A method for enumerating protozoa (ciliates, flagellates, and amoebae) in fine, freshwater sediments is described. The results, using fixed material, are compared with two published techniques: a culture method (most probable number) and a direct count method.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
