The asymmetric model (Dantigny et al., 2011, A new model for germination of fungi, International Journal of Food Microbiology, 146, 176-181) is capable to fit both symmetric and asymmetric curves of fungal spore germination. However, the shape parameter in the asymmetric model must be derived from a regression of the model with experimental data of fungal spore germination, thus the asymmetric model can fit spore germination under tested conditions only. In this paper, to solve this limitation, the previously proposed shape parameter-based asymmetric model has been replaced by using the pure biological parameter-based asymmetric model as: [Formula: see text] , where P is the percentage of germinated spores at time t, P |
