Biomass determination by turbidimetric measurements are fast and easy to perform. This method can be used to enumerate bacteria in food samples and although this method is used to estimate the rate of growth of microorganisms generated the optical density can also be used to determine cell population.

∙ 13y agoTurbidity takes less time to perform; therefore, it takes less time to obtain the results. However, the concentration of the tube needs to be 10^7 or greater.
Plate count method takes time to incubate and takes a longer time to prepare. It does not require the concentration to be that high because you are diluting the sample.
Plate count accounts for live microorganisms only, as turbidity accounts for both live and dead because your just taking the biomass

What are the basics of biuret method?
The basics of Biuret Protein Assay method include few interfering agents, one of which is ammonium salts. There are fewer deviations than ultraviolet absorption methods, but Biuret method consumes much more materials.
Will glutamic acid give a positive biuret test?
Amino acids doesn't react with the biuret reagent.
Is biuret test suitable to test the presence of proteins in the urine?
Yes, the biuret test will indicate the presence of peptides. If it turns violet, it is a positive result.
How many of these chemical groupings must be present in a molecule to give a positive biuret test?
you should have at least 2 of these,to obtain a positive result in Biuret's test. because biuret test is a test used to detect if there is peptide linkages.
Does biuret reagent corrosive and poison?
yes

What is biuret reagent used for?
Biuret reagent detect peptide bonds.
Does potato and biuret turns violet?
onion and biuret turns violet?
What is the color of biruet solution?
The biuret solution used in the biuret test for peptide bonds is blue in the absence of peptide bonds or biuret which also results in a positive result. A positive result for peptide bonds or biuret is apparent as the biuret solution turns purple/violet in color.
What is the reagent used to test proteins?
Buiret Reagent
Caseine in biuret test?
Casein form a purple compound in the biuret test.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of data collection methods in statistics?
There are both advantages and disadvantages of data collection methods in statistics. The main advantages are the metrics and correlation one can draw from statistics. The disadvantages stem from sampling errors.
Advantages or disadvantages of coding methods in a cost centre?
not alot
Will glutamic acid give a positive biuret test?
Amino acids doesn't react with the biuret reagent.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a bill?

What is an indicator for Albumin?
Biuret
What might Biuret reagent test in a practical real life situation?
Biuret reagent test in a practical situation tests for lipids. Biuret is used in food agents for protein amino acid chains.
