Abstract
Rapid and routine methods for isolating and culturing algae are essential for laboratory studies of those algae which create problems in water supplies and for the development of methods for their control. Just as the bacteriologist must isolate the bacteria in order to study their actions under various conditions, so too, the applied phycologist must now follow essentially the same procedure with the algae. Matheson has emphasized this need in his recent report to the 1952 Congress of the International Water Supply Association.
