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 […]
