a
Rates of variation of the different numbers of bacteria throughout Exp#1 and Exp#2. Results from both experiments and both rates estimated (rate of change from 0 to 36 h and rate of change from 36 to 84 h) are included together. Most of the values obtained with DAPI were not contemporaneous to these estimates and are thus not included in the comparison.
