Measurement of Microbial Nucleic Acid Synthesis and Specific Growth Rate by PO(4) and [H]Adenine: Field Comparison.
We compared two radiotracer methods for measuring total microbial nucleic acid synthesis and specific growth rate. Using a sample from an oligotrophic environment, we found that there was excellent agreement between the two methods.
