Summary of the results of the cultivation of membrane filters onto MRS-agar performed by IMC experiments (GF). (A) Dependency of the heat traces on the initial bacterial concentration. (B) Detail magnification of the heat signal near the quantification limit, the dotted line represents the postulated threshold value Φdect. = 2 μW. (C) Dependency of the detection time on the initial bacterial concentration.
