Abstract
Concentrations of microorganisms can be estimated from colony counts at different dilutions. However, complications can occur because of colony overlap or inhibition of colony growth. We develop a model of inhibition in which colonies fail to develop if spores are close to spores of other inhibitory species. The model has three parameters, but a limiting case of the model with only two parameters is shown to be more useful in practice. This latter model, which is a generalized linear model, is fitted to colony counts of the fungus Verticillium dahliae and contrasted with a model suggested in an earlier article.
