Sensitivity of the 14 CO 2 radiometric method for bacterial detection

J R Waters. Appl Microbiol. 1972 Jan.

Abstract

Decimal serial dilutions of eight common bacterial species were prepared, and the detection times were determined by measuring the (14)CO(2) metabolized from the (14)C-labeled glucose substrate. The detection time was proportional to the logarithm of the initial inoculum, and high sensitivity, down to 1 colonyforming unit, was demonstrated.
