Figure Lengend Snippet: Bacterial growth of S . aureus and E . coli assessed by OASTS. Bacteria were incubated with GA to establish MIC from two-fold serial dilutions. ( A ) The oCelloScope™ instrument recorded pictures of the bacterial growth every 10–15 min during the experiment. Pictures from the cultures show the bacterial density at the start (0 h), in the middle (3 h) and at the end (5 h) of the experiments. ( B ) Bacterial growth was measured by the oCelloScope segmentation and extraction of surface area (SESA) algorithm. The applied GA concentrations are indicated in the legend. All data shown represent the mean value and SEM of three independent experiments, each in replicates of two.
Article Snippet: Growth was analysed in Nunc Edge™ 96-well plates (Thermo Fisher) by OASTS using the oCelloScope™ instrument (Philips BioCell A/S, Allerød, Denmark).
