The Application of Photo-Electricity to the Determination of Bacterial Growth Rate

Abstract

In this paper a short account is given of the application of photo-electric methods to bacteriology. Although such methods are now well established, and have been used in colorimetry and nephelometry for some years, they have not received the attention they deserve. The apparatus required, apart from the cell, will be found in any well-equipped laboratory; and their simplicity, as well as the elimination of personal errors, should assure the use of such methods in all experiments involving the measurement of colour intensity or turbidity of fluids.
