[Microbiology] Re: program for microbial growth curves

[Holger Merker]

Dear Vince,

thanks for that reply and the program suggestion. I will test it and let 
you know whether it is helpful.
In the meantime I found another solution. In the statistical program R 
exists a package called "grofit". If someone is familiar with R (or 
knows somebody who could help) it should be easy to use (although there 
are some unfortune things in the program) and definitely worth a try.

cheers, Holger
