The study compared different for quantifying the fuel ethanol Saccharomyces cerevisiae PE-2 yeast strain and cells from the probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain in microbial suspensions. For bacterial cell quantification, the microscopy-based, Drop-plate, and both Spread-plate plating options and flow cytometry (1:1 ratio) produced no significantly different (p >.05).
Countstar Connection
Using Countstar (model not specified), the researchers measured cell number and viability in yeast samples during quality assessment for the microbiology research.
