Abstract

A most-probable-number (MPN) method is described for the enumeration of heterotrophic populations capable of utilizing chlorinated and nonchlorinated benzoates and phenols as sole carbon sources. A correlation coefficient of 0.91 was obtained between the numbers determined by the MPN technique and the standard plate count. The MPN method gave realistic cell counts when population densities were low, and the presence of oligocarbophiles did not give spurious results.
