Application description

This application automatically measures the relative conidia and hyphae coverage in the 96 wells of a Biolog FF microplate. This microplate includes 95 carbon sources and water. The application was trained and evaluated on images showing different stages of conidia and hyphae of the following types of fungi: trichoderma, metarhizium robertsii, aspergillus niger, and penicillium sp.

In the following sections, we provide the necessary input data requirements that are necessary to obtain accurate image analysis results and a description of the output files.

Image content

Photo of standard Biolog multiwell plate with 96 wells.

Additional requirements

  • The dimensions of the multiwell plate must be the same as for a Biolog multiwell plate with 96 wells (12.75 x 8.5 cm; well diameter: 5 mm; well distance: ~5 mm).

  • The multiwell plate is placed on a homogeneous white background.

  • Image and well plate borders have to be approximately parallel.

  • The multiwell plate is rotated in a way that labels of wells are shown in correct order (starting with A1 at the top left; see examples below).

  • The photo was taken under an angle of approximately 90 degrees (avoid perspective distortion).

  • The individual wells have to be clearly distinguishable.

  • The application was optimized for well diameters of 200 pixels, significantly smaller and larger diameters could affect the results.

Note

Important:

For all images, the following requirements apply:

  • The illumination must be constant throughout the image(s).

  • The sample must be in focus, i.e. no blurry regions in image(s).

Input parameter(s)

No additional input parameters are required for this application.

Name of the well.

2

coverage conidia [%]

0 - 100

Percentage of the well area covered with conidia.

3

coverage hyphae [%]

75

0 - 100

Percentage of the well area, covered with hyphae.

4

mean intensity conidia [0,1]

0.60

0 - 1

Mean intensity of the area classified as conidia in the range [0,1], where 0 corresponds to a bright conidia color, and 1 corresponds to a dark conidia color.

Due to different illuminations in the images, the value cannot be compared between different images.

5-14

radial distribution [conidia/hyphae] bin [x] [%]

50

0 - 100

The circular area of the well is divided into 5 annuli. For each annulus with index [x], the percentage of the area covered by conidia/hyphae is given.

A visualization of the annuli and their indices is given shown in the image below:

0 - 100

A histogram of the intensities of the area classified as conidia. Each bin contains the percentage of the well area classified as conidia in the intensity range [a, b].
