title: Bacterial strain characterization using mathematical modelling of growth.
abstract: Growth parameters are obtained from the logistic and Monod's models fitted to the growth of bacterial populations. They allow the comparison between growth curves of different bacterial strains: growth appears to be a relevant character to characterize bacterial strains and even simple mutants from a single strain.
