Bacterial growth measurement using an automated system: mathematical modelling and analysis of growth kinetics.
The reliability of automated systems was assessed by simultaneously using an MS2 and a methodology of data interpretation/mathematical modelling. Two experimental situations were analysed. Bacterial growth both in synthetic and in complex media could be well described by Monod's model and the logistic model. In the two cases, the fit of the models to the data was satisfactory.
