Abstract
The ability of cetrimide, nitrofurantoin, TTC, and sodium arsenite to select for marine pseudomonads and eliminate non-pseudomonads was examined. All four reagents were able to do this at suitable concentrations, but 0.03% cetrimide was superior in permitting good growth of the test pseudomonads in the shortest average period of time at 20C. In completely eliminating test non-pseudomonads, only half of the pseudomonads examined could be recovered.Keywords
