Figure 2

Biomass correlates linearly with spot intensity of imaged cultures. An overnight culture was first diluted 1:4 in water and then serially diluted (3:4) in column A of a 96 well plate. All cultures were then 2-fold serial-diluted across each row, and 4 μL of the resulting cell suspension was spotted to agar media. The cell array was imaged 23 hours after spotting and cultures were immediately excised and resuspended in 2 mL of ice-cold water. Biomass was calculated by particle size analysis of each culture resuspension. The data used to generate this figure are in Additional file 2. (a) The numerical output (spot intensity) from YeastXtract is plotted vs. biomass for each culture. Biomass is calculated as the total cell number times the median cell volume (also plotted for each culture). (b) The image used for this analysis is shown along with the ellipses used for signal extraction.
