title: Suggested procedure allowing use of plastic petri dishes in bacteriocin typing.
abstract: After bacteria are mechanically removed from solid media, the remaining viable cells can be killed by exposure to chloroform vapors. Until recently, the applicability of this procedure was restricted to glass petri dishes. Here a procedure is described in which plastic petri dishes are used and remain stable in the presence of chloroform vapors.
