How much turbidity is bad in water?
Well, turbidity is the measurement of how much sediment is suspended in water. So high amounts of turbidity are not good, because it can suffocate the stream and block sunlight from the animals living in the stream.
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 an abiotic that affects a fresh water ecosystem?
temperature, current, and turbidity A+temperature, current, and turbidity
Turbidity current density results from water mixing with what substance?
Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid. Turbidity current density results from water mixing with sediment particles.
How is turbidity of a bacterial culture measured?
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.

What instrument measures water quality?
A handheld turbidity meter measures turbidity of a water sample. The meter is calibrated using standard samples from the meter manufacturer. The picture with the three glass vials shows turbidity standards of 5, 50, and 500 NTUs. Once the meter is calibrated to correctly read these standards, the turbidity of a water sample can be taken.

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 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.
Why does a highly turbid measurement indicated an unhealthy water system?
Turbidity is commonly caused by fine silt. The presence of silt indicates either inadequate filtering or post filtering contamination. Either way the water could be unsafe to drink. Another cause of turbidity is actual microbial growth, water with enough turbidity due to microbial growth to be detected is definitely unsafe to drink.
How can you check turbidity in pure vacuum dried salt?
A dried salt has not turbidity.
What is the turbidity NTU?
The turbidity NTU standards should be less than 5
How does water flow affect turbidity?
i have tested the to doing charts and graphs and when stream flow is fast the turbidity raises and and when the stream flow decreases so does the turbidity
Does adding more lime slurry drop the pH or turbidity?
The pH and turbidity increases.
What is an abiotic that affects a fresh water ecosystem?
temperature, current, and turbidity A+temperature, current, and turbidity
