A new method for the isolation and study of microorganisms from deteriorated textiles

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

The methods adopted hitherto for the isolation of microorganisms from tendered textile materials, involve considerable practical difficulties. A new technique, whereby the impression of the microorganisms is obtained on a slide, is described. The technique is simple in execution and is free from the disadvantages of the earlier methods. Some practical applications of the new technique are pointed out.
