Sammendrag

Microbial growth on culture media is a commonplace technique to estimate the growth rate and virulence ofmicrobes, assess inhibitory effects of compounds and estimate potential damages of plant pathogens in agri-culture. Growth area measurement of solid cultures is still commonly performed as a manual process that re-quires skilled technicians and substantial time, thus warranting an automated system to reduce the workload andincrease measurement efficiency. A machine learning approach (Support Vector Machines) was developed tofully automate the area measurement process. We developed a functional model that processes images andreturns the microbial area coverage considerably faster than a manual measurement method, with minimal userinput and highly comparable results (R2= 0.88, kappa = 0.88) applicable over large datasets.
