By taking the percentage of chlorophyll fluorescence in the supernatant to the chlorophyll fluorescence of the total sample, an estimation to the percentage of broken cells can be made.
Ngokuthatha iphesenti ye-chlorophyll fluorescence endaweni engaphezu kwe-fluoroshylene ye-chlorophyll yesampula esiphelele, ukulinganisela kumaphesenti wamaseli aphukile angenziwa.
