The baseline conditions were as follows: the initial concentration of bacteria was 105–106 cfu/mL (pH 7.2, 20 °C). Nt/No: number of viable bacteria detected by TSYA medium or selective medium at a given time/number of bacteria at zero time. Dash lines, fitted Ct values by the estimated efficiency factor Hom (EFH) model. Solid line, observed Ct values (n = 3; mean ± SD).
