Step 1: Use light scattering profiles for qualitative and quantitative analysis of isolated bacteria.

Comparison of bacterial cell counts obtained by FCM (red) and on solid agar plates (black). A: Enterococcus faecalis CG 110, B: Sphingomonas sp. strain 107, C: Desulfitobacterium frappieri, D: Clostridium sp. strain 6. SS log (x axis) versus FS log (y axis) of the pure bacterial culture taken in stationary phase of growth are shown. (Modified from a paper submitted to Cytometry)
