Abstract :
We present a simple technique to isolate and detect Cupriavidus sp. bacterium in microscopy images as a non-destructive means to monitor the growth and evolution of the bacteria. The approach uses OTSU binarization on the saturation channel of the bacteria sample images followed by morphological processing. This method of analysis has significantly speeded up the monitoring of biomass production from Cupriavidus sp. Bacteria at our laboratories.
