Growth kinetics were carried out in duplicate wells of 96-well microtiter plates in MRS broth eventually modified with hydrochloric acid (Carlo Erba), sucrose (Sigma Aldrich), or NaCl (Carlo Erba). Overnight cultures were diluted 1:100 (vol/vol) in maximum recovery diluent, and for each condition 10 µL of the cell culture were added to 190 µL of MRS broth. Microplates were incubated at the selected temperature up to 72 h. Control conditions for each temperature (CTRL; MRS broth) were also assessed. Optical density (OD) at 630 nm was measured at 30-min intervals using a Sunrise microplate reader (Tecan Italia Srl). The kinetic data were modeled using the online tool GCAT (Bukhman et al., 2015) (link) according to the Gompertz equation (Zwietering et al., 1990) (link) shown in Equation [1]:
where t is time (h), y is response (i.e., the log-transformed OD value), A (amplitude) is the upper asymptote, µ max is the maximum specific growth rate (log OD/h), and λ is the lag time (h).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
