Abstract
A simple, rapid, staining technique using the magnesium salt of 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonic acid is described. Treatment of soil with an aqueous, membrane-filtered solution (3.5 mg/ml) of the salt causes the soil microorganisms to fluoresce when examined with light from a mercury arc light source.
