TABLE 5.
Percentage of correct identification per extraction method using 1 or 2 duplicates (based on the extended database [BDAL+CBS in-house], strains not performed, or no growth excluded)
| Extraction methoda | % correct identifications by no. of spots, selectionb: |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1, worst case | 1, best case | 1, mean | 2 | |
| DT | 29.9 | 47.9 | 38.9 | 47.9 |
| eDT | 58.2 | 76.0 | 67.1 | 76.0 |
| EtOH-FA | 80.7 | 88.6 | 84.7 | 88.6 |
a
DT, direct transfer; eDT, extended direct transfer; EtOH-FA, ethanol-formic acid extraction.
b
Worst-case scenario, the single spot that was selected is the worse of the 2 results generated; best-case scenario, the single spot that was selected is the better of the 2 results generated.
