Abstract
The effect of cell-cell adhesion (clump formation) on the relationship between optical density and dry biomass was investigated for Pseudomo nas fluorescens (2-79). Calibration curves were generated at the begin ning, middle and end of the arithmetic growth phase, as well as during the decay phase. The results show that use of a single biomass-turbid imetric equation for the entire arithmetic growth phase may yield erro neous results.
