Summary

A new numerical method to estimate bacterial growth parameters by means of detection times generated by different initial counts has been developed. The observed detection times are subjected to a transformation involving the (unknown) maximum specific growth rate and the (known) ratios between the different inoculum sizes and the constant detectable level of counts. The authors present an analysis of variance (ANOVA) protocol based on a theoretical result according to which, if the specific rate used for the transformation is correct, the transformed values are scattered around the same mean irrespective of the original inoculum sizes.
