    1. Measuring Microbial Growth Lab 6

    2. Measuring Cell Growth Number of Cells per milliliter of liquid cells/ml Bacterial cultures contain millions of cells Direct Vs. indirect counts Direct Counts mean actually counting cells More accurate, but takes a lot longer Indirect Counts mean estimating the number of cells based on turbidity in liquid or dry weight. Less accurate, but quick Total Count vs. Viable count Total count?all cells in a culture Viable count?only live cells
