An essential element in laboratory studies of bacteriophages is the counting of phages and of cells undergoing lysogeny. The protocols for performing these tasks typically consist of the following ...
Quantifying bacterial cell numbers is crucial for experimental assessment and reproducibility, but the current technologies have limitations. The commonly used colony forming units (CFU) method causes ...
University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a new way of counting microorganisms that works as much as 36 times faster than conventional methods, cuts plastic use more than 15-fold, and ...
