Abstract
A survey on Chromobacterium sp. and Flavobacterium sp. was conducted in a waste stabilization pond system at Santo Tomas Atzingo, State of Mexico.
For this purpose methods for the isolation and identification of Chromobacterium sp. and Flavobacterium sp. from wastewater were developed and proved to be efficient. Such methods are the result of combining and modifying a series of previously reported techniques for this genera strains, but for environments different from wastewater.
