Fig. 4From: PHENOS: a high-throughput and flexible tool for microorganism growth phenotyping on solid media‘Phenotype calculators’ within the PHENOS software. Each generates a different summary value. Some, indicated with asterisks, e.g. AverageWithoutAgarCalc, require a particular time window to be specified by the user: for a given curve, all timepoints within that window are then averaged, to account for the variance usually observed at higher absorbance readings. Distinctive properties of PHENOS curves, such as initial reductions in absorbance, are discussed within the text and Fig. 6Back to article page
