Abstract
An inexpensive and fast method based on images taken during growth of bacterial cells on multi-well plates was developed for biomass quantification. A correlation of 85% between the results obtained by image analysis and optical density measurements was obtained. This simple method allows the assessment of growth with highly aggregated cell cultures and the rapid screening of a large number of carbon sources.
