TI  - Development of cellular absorptive tracers (CATs) for a quantitative 
      characterization of microbial mass in flow systems.
PG  - 3630-3
AB  - A new method was developed for a simple non-destructive characterization of 
      bacterial mass in flow systems. Results of partition and transport experiments 
      showed that adsorption of a CAT molecule into the cellular mass resulted in its 
      retardation during flow, which was a good measure of the biomass quantity and 
      distribution. Three dyes, acridine orange (AO), toluidine blue (TB), and safranin 
      O (SO), were chosen as CATs to demonstrate their utility to quantitatively 
      characterize the biomass, its location and morphology in flow system. The results 
      clearly demonstrated the applicability of AO, TB, and SO as cellular absorptive 
      tracers in columnar flow experiments.
