✦ Synopsis

The physiological state of microorganisms should be considered in biotechnology and biosciences since this influences the rate and efficiency of cellular processes. Physico-chemical methods, such as biocalorimetry and laser flow cytometry, and other spectroscopic methods for determination of biochemical data, such as concentrations of NADH, ATP and cytochrome c, are suitable for describing the physiological state.
