Spanish term or phrase: Extinción
Justo antes de inocular el ensayo, transferir una cantidad suficiente del cultivo preparado bajo (B.15.6.1) a un tubo de centrífuga estéril, centrifugar a 2600 rpm durante 5 min, decantar y resuspender el paquete celular en 10 ml de solución salina. Hacer dos lavados más. Transferir a una cubeta de 1 cm y efectuar la lectura en el espectrofotómetro a 575 nm. Estandarizar el cultivo a fin de obtener siempre aproximadamente la misma extinción. No debe olvidarse sustraer de la extinción del cultivo la del medio de ensayo, que es un medio coloreado.

Así pues, para una extinción del cultivo (B.15.6.1) entre 0,2 y 0,4 (después de sustraer la extinción propia del medio), introducir de 4 a 8 gotas de cultivo en el tubo que contiene 10 ml de medio (B.15.6.4). Si la extinción no se encuentra en la zona arriba mencionada, adaptar la dilución como sigue:

Finally, the chapter describes the extinction culture, which is also called dilution culture and dilution to extinction. It involves diluting water samples with filter-sterilized water until only a few bacteria remain and then growing the cells in either the unamended water or by adding small amounts of organic substrates to culture them.

depletion


Explanation:
I think depletion would be the best gloss in this context because extinction doesn't make sense and after searching for some articles online about centrifuges I found that depletion is more commonly used terminology to describe chemicals used up in a centrifuge.

Example sentence(s):
  • It is fed into centrifuges that enrich the depleted material back up to the original concentration and then fed back into the enriching cascade.

agree  spanruss: I would say "extinction". It sounds they're talking about the end result in this sentence, instead of the process.
