ABSTRACT:
The combination of a culturing process, bioluminescence mediated by luciferin/luciferase, and a light measuring device allows microbial monitoring in liquids with microbial concentrations as low as 1 CFU/100 ml. All characteristics of this monitor are zero gravity compatible which makes it particularly suitable for applications such as monitoring microbial counts in water in a zero gravity, closed environment.
