Protocol for quantifying the germination properties of individual bacterial endospores using PySpore

Protocol for quantifying the germination properties of individual bacterial endospores using PySpore

Summary: PySpore is a Python program that tracks the germination of individual bacterial endospores. Here, we present a protocol for segmenting spores and quantifying the germination properties of individual bacterial endospores using PySpore. We describe steps for using GUI-based tools to optimize...
