Calculating growth rate from optical density
41 Optical density (OD) data can be used to obtain the specific growth rate and if used in conjunction 42 with the known initial inocula, the maximum population data and knowledge of the microbial 43 number at a predefined OD at a known time then all the information required for the reconstruction 44 of a standard growth curve can be obtained. Microbial ecologists often measure the growth rates of their favourite microbes, commonly using an OD (optical density) reader, with growth being related to the increasing OD of the sample through time. There are loads of ways to analyse these curves. Optical density-incubation time plot for the growth of multiple initial inocula of Listeria monocytogenes (isolate Lm252) at 37 °C in TSB. Each curve represents a single initial inoculum ranging from 9.1 log 10 cfu/ml to 1 cfu/ml (left to right), wells with no cells present failed to show growth (horizontal OD at background level).

We can use this to calculate a growth rate given OD measurements at 2 timepoints. For example, if and , then Take the log2 of both equations and solving for growth rate, we get: This formula defines over a specific time window, The purpose of a growth rate measurement is to determine the rate of change in the number of cells in a culture per unit time. This requires estimating the cell density at a series of time points. Whether done by a modern plate reader or by the classical shake flask and spectrophotometer approach, Optical density (OD) measurements of microbial growth are one of the most common techniques used in microbiology, with applications ranging from studies of antibiotic efficacy to investigations of

Optical density (OD) measurements of microbial growth are one of the most common techniques used in microbiology, with applications ranging from studies of antibiotic efficacy to investigations of Calculation of the bacterial growth rate from a spectrophotomer growth curve. Typically the microbial growth in liquid cultures is monitored by turbidity. Data is obtained with a spectrophotometer to measure optical density at 600nm. The slope of the bacterial kinetic curve in exponential phase is the growth rate. The higher the optical density, the lower the transmittance. The ten times of this density is equal to transmission loss expressed in decibels. For example, the density of 0.3 corresponds to a transmission loss of 3dB. During growth phase I did optical density measurements every 30 minutes for 60h for all 4 different medium. (3 replicates each and of corse blank measurements for the background absorption of the different medium) So, now I have 4 different growth curves for this bacteria according to the 4 different medium.
The rate of division during this phase is very low, and the total number of bacteria The optical density of a sample at 600 nanometres is referred to as OD600. in the liquid, which can be used to estimate the growth phase of the population.
