2,3,5-tryphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC)as electron acceptor of culturable soil bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes 

 -  Biology and Fertility of sOils, 38(3), p.186-189, 2003 .
<br/><br/> Dehydrogenase assays based on the reduction of 2,3,5- triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC)to the creaming red-coloured formazan (TPF), have been used to determine microbial activity in soil. By spraying TTC on culturable microbial colonies, whose growth was induced by applying glucose, we observed that from 72 to 100
