Linear transformation of standard curves for yeast turbidity

Appl Environ Microbiol. 1976 Oct;32(4):640-1. doi: 10.1128/aem.32.4.640-641.1976.

Abstract

Within a very serviceable range, light extinction plotted against yeast concentration follows a rectangular hyperbola. A linear transformation, which facilitates the determination of yeast concentration, is described.
