Hi all,
I am trying to locate a standard method for culturing bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis probably) in a liquid suspension, rather than on agar plates.
We want to incubate them with something (most likely for 24 hrs) and then do a viable count.
We want to use optical density (spectrophotometry) as a way of measuring the viable count also.
Has anyone had any success or has any ideas?
