If you determined the number of cells in a sample using viable plate counts and optical density measurements, why would the results from the two methods be so different?
Shaiju T.
why don't your values exactly match the number of cells/ml of other groups if you all counted from the same yeast sample
Farhan A.
Using the plot of absorbance versus cell count derived in this exercise, you will be able to approximate actual cell counts in future exercises with Escherichia coli. Why can't you use this same plot (or standard curve) for other bacteria? (10 marks)
