Made in United States of America Reprint DETECTION OF FERMENTATIVE VARIANTS WITH TETRAZOLIUM' JOSHUA LEDERBERG Department of Genetics, linioersity of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin Received for public&ion July 29, 1948 While trying to develop methods for finding dehydrogenase mutants, we found tetrazolium (triphenyl tetrazolium chloride) to be useful for detecting fermentative variants. This indicator has the advantage that the nonferment- ing variants are stained a deep red whereas the fermenters and the background are neutral. . 695
