Abstract
A colorimetric method is presented for the quantitative determination of dye uptake by bacterial cells. Experiments showed that the dye to cell ratio was of major importance in controlling the amount of dye taken up per weight of bacterial cells. Approximate dye saturation of cells could be obtained (at pH 6.1 to 6.3) although the dye uptake curves did not absolutely level off.Keywords
