The development of a selective medium for counting Chromobacterium spp. in river water is described. A mixture of sodium deoxycholate and colistin as inhibitors favoured growth and recovery of chromobacteria. Addition of cycloheximide to this medium controlled the growth of fungi when soil samples were examined.
