The following points highlight the two methods used for measuring the growth in fungi. The methods are: 1. Linear Method (Agar Plate) 2. Mycelial Dry Weight. 1. Linear Method (Agar Plate): Principle: Fungal inoculum kept in the centre of the agar plate will grow radially and the rate of growth can be measured each 24 […]

In this article we will discuss about the principle, requirements and procedure for measuring the growth of bacteria by spectrophotometric method. Principle: This method relates cell number to turbidity of a broth culture. Turbidity or optical density (OD) is directly proportional to cell concentration. Requirements: 1. 10-12 hour E. coli broth culture maintained at lag […]
