Abstract
Propidium monoazide (PMA) was optimized to discriminate between viable and dead Bacteroidesfragilis cells and extracellular DNA at different concentrations of solids using quantitative PCR. Conditions of 100 μM PMA and a 10-min light exposure also excluded DNA from heat-treated cells of nonculturable Bacteroidales in human feces and wastewater influent and effluent.
