Accurate colony counting is crucial for assessing microbial growth in high-throughput workflows. However, existing automated counting solutions struggle with the issue of merged colonies, a common occ
One averaged spectral measurement is collapsed onto a 3D point with coordinates named DF score 1, 2, and 3. Black dots: low amplitude state measurements (any colony 2, 5, 6, 7 or 15). Other dots: high
Results are expressed as median (minimum – maximum values) – n = 11.CFU: colony-forming units.Distinct lower-case superscript letters indicate statistical significance for the comparison between treat
