Bacterial growth from Bacillus subtilis as monitored by sensor 7 of the ‘E-Nose’. (A) Initiation of bacterial growth after an initial lag phase followed by exponential growth; results of negative control experiment (culture media without bacteria) are shown for comparison, (B) stationary and death phases of the same culture including two CFU determinations. The red dotted line indicates the sensor response towards the negative control.

Growth of Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus warneri as monitored by sensor 7. Hatched areas: Staphylococcus warneri, non-hatched areas: Bacillus subtilis. The signal amplitude corresponding to the negative control is represented by the red dotted line. The negative control was sterile culture media without bacteria.
