Samples from each flask were taken at appropriate time points depending on the growth phase of the cells. Optical density was measured at a wavelength of 520 nm in order to avoid/minimize absorption by the chromoproteins (see absorption spectra). Cells were left to grow until the stationary phase was reached.
