Mathematical correlation between microbial biomass and total viable count for different bacterial strains used in biotreatment of oil pollution.

摘要

This study illustrates mathematical correlations between viable cell count and biomass dry weight of four different bacterial strains, since microbial parameter often needed to be defined as mass (mg/ml) rather than colony forming unit CFU (cells/ml) or optical density OD in modeling of biotreatment batch process.
