This volume results from a conference jointly sponsored by the
Biotechnology Unit of the Government Chemist and the Society for
Applied Bacteriology. ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate - the basic
molecule of energy) luminscence technology is an effective and
rapid method for assaying microbial numbers. Although developed in
the 1970s, only recently has the method been made reliable. This
volume covers a broad range of topics concerned with this form of
rapid microbiology. It contains detailed coverage of the most
recent advances made in this area edited by the major authorities
in the field.
