| Abstract: | A method is described for the indirect conductimetric assessment of microbial populations by the absorption of metabolic CO2 in an alkaline absorbent solution whose conductance is monitored. The method allows microbial growth in un-modified conventional culture media to be monitored conductimetrically. |
