Hello!

I measured an unknown strain of cyanobacteria growing in suspension at 730 nm. What exactly is measured at 730 nm, though?

And can anyone explain to me please, why OD 730 drops when the cyanobacteria is put under limitation and increases again after sometime? Is there some type of downregulation of the protein that is measured at 730 nm?

I've also read about people using OD 750 nm and 655 nm. What is measured at these wavelengths and when should you use these instead?

Thanks and regards
