Measurements of microbial cell cultures thermo fisher scientific nanodrop products wilmington delaware usa technical support. We found that ape 18 o of microbial dna increased linearly from 0 to 48 h after incubation and then changed non linearly between 48 and 96 h therefore we set the incubation time to be 48 h for the second experiment. I am working with microbial fuel cells mfc where microbes metabolise and generate electrons which are transferred for electricity generation. The simplest technique of this sort is to measure the weight of cells in a sample. These methods measure some quantifiable cell property that increases as a direct result of microbial growth. There are many different ways to measure the growth of microbial populations.
Requirements for growth physical requirements 1temperature. Most methods of counting are based on indirect or direct counts of tiny samples. In the second experiment we found ape 18 o of microbial dna was significantly positively correlated with ape 18 o of soil water or glucose and the regression slopes were 0. Microbes are loosely classified into several groups based on their.
