Welcome to BaColonyzer

Description

BaColonyzer is a software to quantify the cell density of bacterial cultures from timecourse pictures. It uses image analysis tools to determine the fitness of spotted cultures of bacteria grown on solid agar, similarly to what Colonyzer does with yeast cultures (Lawless et al. 2010). Colonyzer has been a great inspiration for BaColonyzer.

BaColonyzer is very fast and robust, allowing the users to obtain reliable resuls without the need to adjust a large number of parameters. It performs well with bright as well as dark images, and it is implemented as a Python3 package.
