Accurate enumeration and identification of Testacea (Protozoa, Rhizopoda) in forest soil using scanning electron microscopy
抄録
A new procedure is used for separating Testacea from soil, based on dispersion, sequential centrifugation-settling and subsequent filtration of the soil suspension. Combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), this procedure allows accurate enumeration of Testacea, with a recovery rate of 90%) and more precise counting (RSD: 5%) of Testacea than in previous works.
