PY - 2012 DA - 2012/04/16 TI - Growth comparison of several Escherichia coli strains exposed to various concentrations of lactoferrin using linear spline regression JO - Microbial Informatics and Experimentation SP - 5 VL - 2 IS - 1 AB - We wanted to compare growth differences between 13 Escherichia coli strains exposed to various concentrations of the growth inhibitor lactoferrin in two different types of broth (Syncase and Luria-Bertani (LB)). To carry this out, we present a simple statistical procedure that separates microbial growth curves that are due to natural random perturbations and growth curves that are more likely caused by biological differences.
