I have three types of samples including liquid samples (water, milk), solid samples (feed, feces) and aerosol samples. After quantifying by qPCR, I have the copies number of each sample. However, I don't know how to compare the number of bacteria among these samples because of the differences in their characteristic and difference in unit (g vs ml) as well. Could anyone give me suggestion? Many thanks.
Hello Nguyen
I still did not understand why you need to compare rather than evaluate the microbial existence in the different samples
Hello Nguyen iam think it wrong to collect them same time because different media and transport espically erosol iam prefear to select one media or leave compare number of bacteria

Nguyen Qui - dealing with many different samples at a time leads to confusion and there may be chance of possible errors. My suggestion is to go with the single sample at a time and start comparing them with the obtained sequencing results. All the best
