Title: What does RLU/CFU on graph means Post by: roksteady22 on Nov 18, 2014 So I am looking at a graph with percent of maximum of RLU/CFU (y-axis) with time on the x-axis and I'm not sure what the y-axis means.
I know RFU measures fluorescence and CFU are the number of viable bacteria, so is RLU/CFU the ratio of light and number of bacteria. This is the graph I am looking at.

They are just dividing the two numbers, but I don't know the significance of doing that. According to one article: Quote The number of RFU/ml was then divided by the number of CFU/ml determined at the time of vesicle harvest to generate the OMV yield (RFU/CFU). |
