Phil Geis

OD works for unicellular bacteria and yeast-like fungi but not useful for monitoring growth of a mycelial fungus. Dry weight is prob your best metric for the last.

Norman van Rhijn

We have optimised a protocol and analytical pipeline to assess fungal growth in a 96 well plate micro culture. You can find the protocol here:

Vit Mateju

I agree with Phil Geis that for fungi the best and most accurate way of determination of biomass is determination of dry weight.

Best regards
