Model for bacterial culture growth rate throughout the entire biokinetic temperature range
Open accessAbstract
The "square-root" relationship proposed by Ratkowsky et al. (J. Bacteriol. 149:1-5, 1982) for modeling the growth rate of bacteria below the optimum growth temperature was extended to cover the full biokinetic temperature range. Two of the four parameters of this new nonlinear regression model represent minimum and maximum temperature bounds, respectively, for the predicted growth of the culture. The new model is easy to fit and has other desirable statistical properties. For example, the least-squares estimators of the parameters of the model were almost unbiased and normally distributed. The model applied without exception to all bacterial cultures for which we were able to obtain data. Results for 30 strains are reported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
