Russian term or phrase: кислотность по Тернеру
I am hoping there's a biology expert out there who can help me with this term. It appears in a patent description for a strain of bacteria used to produce silage. Various tests and cultures were carried out on the bacteria strains, and the results given. One of the measurements taken was lactic acid activity - here's the context:

Активность молочнокислых бактерий (кислотность по Тернеру) - 25-30°C.

Now I cannot for the life of me find any references in English to any kind of Turner scale of acidity - but plenty of references to "кислотность по Тернеру" or "кислотности в градусах Тернера" in Russian on the web. My guess is this might be "titratable acidity" but it is just a guess - can anyone shed some light? Many thanks in advance!

I decided to give the Kudoz points to you, Kimberley, after much humming and hawing - I think it was the spelling in the end! Thanks so much for your time.

One more reference, but also from the local periodicals:
The lactic bacteria strains (after preliminary identification, Gram staining, spore staining, oxidase, catalase and CaCO3resolution test) were proliferated in liquid MRS medium, after 24 - 48 hours, lactic acid production was characterized by the U-ferment reagent and quantitative measurement by Therner acidity method. Selection of lactic acid bacteria was based on the highest of lactic acid production and the antimicrobial activity employed by agar spot test and well diffusion agar methods
