Isolation of Serratia marcescens on Deoxyribonuclease-Toluidine Blue-Cephalothin Agar

^a Department of Microbiology, The University of Alabama, University, Alabama 35486

ABSTRACT

Serratia marcescens was isolated on a new medium—commercial deoxyribonuclease agar with the addition of cephalothin (1,000 µg/ml) and Toluidine Blue (1,000 µg/ml). It was detected in water samples even though it comprised only 0.1 to 0.0001% of the total bacterial population.
