Abstract: (896 Views)
Optical density is widely used as a proxy for measuring biomass concentration in microbiology approaches when light attenuation is dominated by scattering. However, the applicability of OD-based correlations is highly dependent on the wavelength. In this study, using the optical density measurement method, we obtained the growth curve for E.coli K-12 strain MG-1655 and displayed that OD indicates the concentration of bacterial biomass solely in the visible wavelength range.
