ABSTRACT:

This study illustrates mathematical correlations between viable cell count and biomass dry weight of four different bacterial strains, since microbial parameter often needed to be defined as mass (mg/ml) rather than colony forming unit CFU (cells/ml) or optical density OD in modeling of biotreatment batch process.
