title: SIMPLE CONDITIONS FOR GROWTH OF UNICELLULAR BLUE-GREEN ALGAE ON PLATES(1, 2).
abstract: The efficiencies of plating of 2 cultures of unicellular blue-green algae, 1 coccoid and 1 rod-shaped, were studied systematically. Reproducible colony growth and accurate viable counts are dependent on the use of a low agar concentration, and on the sterilization of the agar separately from the mineral components of the medium.
