Yeast extract (0.025%) and nalidixic acid (0.002%) were added to seawater samples and the samples were incubated for 6 h at 20.degree. C in the dark. Under these conditions, bacterial cells did not divide but grew to form elongated cells that are easily recognized by a direct microscopic method and epifluorescent microscopic technique. The number of cells thus obtained is proposed as a direct count of viable bacterial cells (DVC). With open ocean samples, DVC was higher than viable plate counts by up to 3 orders of magnitude and lower than the direct counts by about 1 order.
