A statistical method to identify different survival patterns of culturable microbes in environmental microcosms

Hurley, Margaret Anne

A statistical method is described which identifies whether survival patterns of culturable microbes over time are significantly different when compared to natural within replicate microcosm variability. The method is likelihood based and assumes that counts of numbers of microbes are Poisson or Poisson-like distributed. An example is presented to illustrate the methodology.
