BactEXTRACT

BactEXTRACT converts raw microtitre plate reader optical density, fluorescence, and luminescence measurements into analyses and publication-ready visualizations of bacterial growth and gene expression.

Key Features:

• Data types supported: Processes raw optical density, fluorescence, and luminescence measurements acquired from microtitre plate readers.
• Growth-curve and expression analysis: Derives bacterial growth curves and gene expression profiles from processed measurement data.
• Visualization and export: Produces publication-ready plots directly from processed datasets.

Scientific Applications:

• Microbial physiology: Quantifies growth kinetics and population behavior from optical density measurements.
• Genetics: Assesses gene expression changes using fluorescence and luminescence reporter measurements.
• Systems biology: Integrates growth and expression measurements to support comparative and systems-level analyses across strains or conditions.

Methodology:

Converts and processes raw optical density, fluorescence, and luminescence measurements from microtitre plate readers into processed datasets and publication-ready plots.
