The microbial cell density was varied in the range of 5.24 106 to 9.14 109 CFU mL1 for EM and 1.22 106
to 4.88 107 cell mL1 for MA. MA cell density was determined using Syringe Liquid Sampler Particle Measuring System SLS-PMS (PMS, USA). For the measurement of the mixed cells of EM and MA, OD measurement mainly served as rapid measurement where the confirmation on CFU and particle measurement were done every three days for confirmation.
