The density of the bacterial cells in the liquid suspension. It's an indirect measure of number of cells. Using a spectrophotometer, light is passed through a sample and the light that passes through is measured by a receiver. The idea is that the less light passing through (because of the cloudiness) the more cells there are. The level of turbidity can be called the 'absorbance' or 'optical density (OD)', as measured by a spectrophotometer.

∙ 13y agoTurbidity is typically used with liquid cultures. The more turbid the culture, the more cells are in it is the general rule. Cells within a culture scatter the light going through the culture and make it harder to see through or "cloudy".

What type of instrument is available for measurement of bacterial growth on the basis of turbidity?
Spectrophotometer
Can turbidity measurement be used on a fungal culture in liquid medium?
turbidity is usually used to classify the clarity of town water or a stream where the suspended solids are generally very small, it depends on how far advanced your culture was.
What is the disadvantage of using more than 3 day old bacterial culture?
is it accurate to use a 3 day old bacterial culture
What is a bacterial culture containing a single species of organisms referred to as?
A bacterial culture containing a single species of organism is referred to as pure or axenic.
What is the value of using a deep culture in Microbiology?
Using a deep culture in microbiology allows for the isolation and identification of microorganisms that may be present in low abundance or have slower growth rates. This can provide a more comprehensive understanding of microbial diversity and their functional capabilities in various environments. Deep culture techniques also enable the study of unculturable or difficult-to-culture microorganisms, expanding our knowledge of microbial life.

How is turbidity measured?
Turbidity (clarity) of water can be measured with a WAV monitor of a Nephelometer. WAV monitors use a turbidity tube that allows an estimate of water quality based on a visual assessment of the amount of light that is scattered and absorbed in the water sample. This method is useful during and immediately after rain storms. When measuring turbidity in the laboratory, a meter called a Nephelometer is used. It measures the amount of light scattered by the particles in the water in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs). Deb

Why is turbidity not an accuarte measure of viable bacteria in a culture?
why is turbidity not an accurate measurement of viable bacteria in a culture
What is a measure of how clear water is in a water system?
This is 'turbidity' and is measured in 'ppm' when you have a water sample analysed in a lab.
What are the types of sputum cultures?

What causes turbidity in lagoons What is the reliability of turbidity data?
turbidity is pollution, thus runoffs and fertilizer and anything that makes up pollution is turbidity.
Is a yogurt a virus or a bacteria?
It's a bacterial culture.
