Measuring Bacterial Growth

Hi all,

I want to measure bacterial growth over time using turbidity of the 
samples. I have read a few papers regarding this measurement and some 
different wavelengths seem to be used i.e. 550, 650 and 660nm. I 
would appreciate any information on these measurements. The samples I 
want to analyse are biodegrading bacteria so as my substrate 
disappears ( as shown by its disappearance at its characteristic 
wavelength) I want to show a corresponding increase in bacterial 
growth.

Thanks in advance for all replies.
