Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A spectrophotometer can be used to measure the absorbance of bacterial cultures at regular intervals, providing real-time data on the growth of the culture. This is a widely used and efficient method for measuring bacterial growth. FACS and fluorescent microscopy are useful for analyzing individual cells within a population, but are not as efficient for measuring growth of the entire population. The Petroff-Hauser counting chamber requires manual counting of cells and is therefore not as efficient as the spectrophotometer.
