Soil protozoa: choosing a counting method
Ingham connects ecology, identification and measurement.
Study published:
What the chapter covers
The methodological chapter connects protozoan ecology and physiology with the choice of counting and identification techniques. [1]
The value of direct observation
Examining samples immediately after collection limits changes in number or activity before measurement. Techniques for separating protozoa from soil are also discussed. [1]
A connection with our Center
For our training, we want collection and observation times recorded alongside microscopic images. We plan reading guides to methods with links to original protocols.
Presentation context
Presentation of the published summary of a methodological chapter. The educational connection is our own proposal.
