✦ Synopsis

The effect of cell-cell adhesion (clump formation) on the relationship between optical density and dry biomass was investigated for Pseudomonas jluorescens

(2-79). Calibration curves were generated at the beginning, middle and end of the arithmetic growth phase, as well as during the decay phase. The results show that use of a single biomass-turbidimetric equation for the entire arithmetic growth phase may yield erroneous results.
