Figure 2.

Comparison of growth/no growth interfaces observed by Koutsoumanis and Sofos (2005) for L. monocytogenes in tryptic soy broth at 15°C with interfaces predicted with the single-cell growth probability model for population of (A) 0.9 log cells and (B) 4.2 log cells. Solid lines are interfaces observed by Koutsoumanis and Sofos (2005) for a growth probability of 0.5. Dashed and dotted lines are interfaces predicted with the model for a growth probability of 0.5. Dashed lines correspond to the median behavior and dotted lines represent the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of variation or credibility.
