A survey of microbial contamination in aviation fuel from aircraft fuel tanks

Mechanism of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT) in controlling microbial problems in aircraft fuel systems

“…The three bacterial strains were grown in a constant temperature shaker (orbital shaking) at 170 rpm for 20-48 h at 37 °C. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] The bacterial solution cultured to an absorbance of 0.8-1 A (600 nm) was diluted 1000 times with sterile dilution water. When the absorbance was between 0.8 and 1.0 (600 nm), the bacteria were generally in the middle of the exponential growth phase, during which bacterial activity was high and the accuracy of bacterial testing could be ensured.…”
