Figure 7

Example Colonyzer input. Some example photographs of S. cerevisiae, S. pombe and E. Coli cultures growing on solid agar with various spotting/pinning formats which are suitable for analysis using Colonyzer. A) Liquid inoculated 384 spot plate, B) 384 spot plate with a coloured drug in the agar, C) 1536 colony plate (pinned), D) 384 spot plate with an agar crack from drying E) Circular petri dish with serial dilution of rectangular gridded E. coli spotted cultures F) 384 spot plate with strongly growing contaminant cut out by hand to prevent overgrowth. Panels D and F are extremely rare worst-case scenarios for experimental plates and are only included to demonstrate that Colonyzer is robust to these features. All of these images (plus more examples) are available for download and testing [12].
