Abstract

We have developed an efficient method of screening to detect pressure-sensitive mutants of barophilic or barotolerant bacteria using conventional agar medium plates. By this new method, 75 colonies can be screened per plate under high hydrostatic pressure.

Keywords: agar plate; barophilic bacteria; deep-sea; high hydrostatic pressure; pressure-sensitive mutant
