Bacterial strain characterization using mathematical modelling of growth.
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.
