<p>Systems, methods and apparatus for identifying a microorganism type in a culture are provided. A normalization relative value is calculated for each respective measurement of a biological state of the culture between (i) the respective measurement and (ii) an initial biological state. For each fixed interval of time points, a first derivative of the normalization relative values in the interval of time points is calculated, thereby forming a plurality of rate transformation values. For each respective set of rate transformation values in the plurality of rate transformation values, a measure of central tendency of the rate transformation values in the set is computed, thereby forming a plurality of average relative transformation values. A maximum metabolic rate and an extent of growth, determined from the normalization relative values and the average relative transformation values, are compared against a lookup table that matches these values to a microorganism type.</p> |
