| Abstract: | Microbial parameters in a biodesulfurization batch process are often needed to be defined as mass (mg/mL) rather than total viable count (cells/mL) or optical density. This study illustrates mathematical correlations between different techniques used for following up the growth of a new biodesulfurizing bacterial isolate. |
