PY - 2012 DA - 2012/08/08 TI - Proposal for a method to estimate nutrient shock effects in bacteria JO - BMC Research Notes SP - 422 VL - 5 IS - 1 AB - Plating methods are still the golden standard in microbiology; however, some studies have shown that these techniques can underestimate the microbial concentrations and diversity. A nutrient shock is one of the mechanisms proposed to explain this phenomenon. In this study, a tentative method to assess nutrient shock effects was tested.
