K. pneumoniae ATCC BAA-1705 and BAA-1706 were cultivated in paralell in SLIC. The output mV data from SLIC v7 over 600 min is plotted in (A) with the data for the first 120 min of the experiment is shown in (B) (one measurement per second with one in 480 points included in the graph). Points represent the mean of three independent measurements and error bars are the standard error of the mean. All data were fitted to the Gompertz and Broken stick equations (Eqs. 1 and 2, respectively). The fitting results are illustrated in (C,D). Note from Table 2 that the Broken Stick gave better fittings than the Gompertz equation, as determined by lower AIC values (see Table 2).
