Bacterial Growth Curves for Six Species Across 664 Media, 11,686 Curves

Three high-throughput growth assays for six model bacterial species were performed. The results include 11,686 growth curves measured across 664 different media conditions. The dataset was authored by Shuyang Zhang and last updated on 2026-04-28.

Use Cases

• Modeling bacterial growth kinetics based on high-throughput assay data
• Comparing growth responses of different bacterial species across hundreds of media
• Training predictive models for bacterial fitness in defined nutrient conditions
• Screening for media that support or inhibit the growth of specific bacterial species

Strengths

• Includes 11,686 individual growth curves, providing a substantial number of observations
• Covers 664 distinct media conditions, offering a wide range of environmental variables
• Based on three separate high-throughput assays, suggesting a systematic experimental approach

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
