Talk:Colony-forming unit

[Untitled]

Colony-forming units can also refer to fungal growth counts, and not just bacterial or archeal growth count. There seem to be two revisions here, when I log in, I'm shown the correct definition that includes fungal growth, but otherwise it is removed from the "master" list. Any thoughts?

Cell numbers and CFU

Hi all, I've made some minor changes, some of them related to the assumption in the previous version that what all microbiologists really want is the number of viable cells in a sample, for which CFU gives an estimate (or rather, usually an underestimation). However, CFU is a metric in its own right. CFU count can be more meaningful than viable cell count, depending on what you are trying to find out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magic77wand (talk • contribs) 13:05, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits! Just a heads up, the minor edits button is misleadingly named and should only be used for things like spelling and punctuation corrections, fixing layout errors, and adding wikilinks. Help:Minor edit has more detail about when it's okay to use. CambrianCrab (talk) 18:13, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
