1.	Starvation 02/20/2011 - "Physiological heterogeneity of Escherichia coli population by respiration activity and membrane potential during growth and starvation in batch cultures was evaluated using 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride (CTC) and bis-(1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid) trimethine oxo (DiBAC₄)(3) fluorescent probes in combination with flow cytometry. "
2.	Cysts 07/30/2001 - "The fluorescent redox dye 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride (CTC), combined with fluorescein-labeled antibodies, was tested for the simultaneous detection of the respiratory electron transport system (ETS) activity and enumeration of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts by spectral microfluorometry and epifluorescence microscopy.
