20.500.12556/RUL-152886 Multiscale spatial segregation analysis in digital images of biofilms Quantifying the degree of spatial segregation of two bacterial strains in mixed biofilms is an important topic in microbiology. Spatial segregation is dependent on spatial scale as two strains may appear to be well mixed if observed from a distance, but a closer look can reveal strong separation. Typically, this information is encoded in a digital image that represents the binary system, e.g., a microscopy image of a two species biofilm. To decode spatial segregation information, we have developed quantitative measures for evaluating the degree of the spatial scale-dependent segregation of two bacterial strains in a digital image. The constructed algorithm is based on the new segregation measures and overcomes drawbacks of existing approaches for biofilm segregation analysis. The new approach is implemented in a freely available software and was successfully applied to biofilms of two strains and bacterial suspensions for detection of the different spatial scale-dependent segregation levels. microbiology bacterial strains biofilm spatial segregation biofilm analysis mikrobne združbe biofilm prostorska razporeditev analiza biofilma true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-12-11 09:53:15 2023-12-11 09:53:19 2024-09-30 16:24:09 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 12 str. art. 100157 Vol. 6 Dec. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 579.2 2590-2075 10.1016/j.bioflm.2023.100157 173842691 1-s2.0-S2590207523000540-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S2590207523000540-main.pdf 1 73D9540529D0ADB69E04E30F61A6A5D8 8ae68f36a34178a66fbe62f714076b7c6bf19b461fb404c3edf6d13a2bb7571b fc64756b-9802-11ee-bb90-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178592 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590207523000540 1 bb6ce7f1-9802-11ee-bb90-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178591 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
