ABSTRACT
A range of fluorescent viability dyes were used in conjunction with flow cytometry to rapidly enumerate viable bacteria from freshwater environments. Optimal labelling was achieved by using carboxyfluorescein diacetate or chemchrome B a detergent-mediated permeabilization step. The bacterial count under optimal conditions 7% oligotrophic lake water and 75% polluted river water.
