A membrane filtration method has been developed which is useful for enumeration of viable Vibria cholerae 01 in environmental water samples by immunofluorescent staining. The samples were incubated with yeast extract and nalidixic acid. Substrate responsive cells, i.e. viable cells, elongate and after staining with specific antiserum and fluorescein conjugate, viable V. cholerae cells appear as long, peripheral fluorescent green banded bacilli when viewed under the microscope. Using an ocular reticule, the number of viable cells per ml can be calculated. The procedure has been adapted for use with outer bacterial species if specific antisera are employed.
