Detection of low levels of Listeria monocytogenes cells by using a fiber-optic immunosensor.

abstract：:Ergosterol is a membrane component specific to fungi that can be used to estimate fungal biomass using appropriate factors of conversion. Our objectives were to determine the limits of use of ergosterol content as a measure of biomass for aquatic hyphomycetes, and to evaluate a previously established ergosterol-to-bio...
