The use of the reverse-flow filtration technique to quantitatively concentrate marine bacteria was evaluated using both a pure culture and seawater samples. Our data indicate that the cells are altered during the filtration procedure and that a significant and inconsistent number of cells are lost on the membrane filter. The results obtained indicate that data on marine bacteria concentrated in this manner should be interpreted with caution.
