From: Bacterial growth, detachment and cell size control on polyethylene terephthalate surfaces
Schematic diagram illustrating the procedure to measure the amount of bacterial cells on PET surfaces per mm2 (i.e. n(j), j = 0, 1, 2, …) and the number of cells that detach from surfaces into culture medium (i.e. N(j), j = 1, 2, …) at each hour interval.
The labeled Process (I, II, III or IV) is described in details in Methods.
