Abstract The duration of lag phase can be used as an organismal fitness marker; however, it is often underreported as its estimation may be challenging and method and parameters dependent. Moreover, there are no publicly available tools to calculate lag duration by different methods. We developed a shiny‐based web application (https://microbialgrowth.shinyapps.io/lag_calulator/) where the lag duration can be calculated based on the user‐specified growth curve data, and for various explicitly specified methods, parameters and data preprocessing techniques. Additionally, we release an R package ‘miLAG’ that can be further customised and developed. We also describe in short the assumptions, advantages and disadvantages of the most popular lag calculation methods and propose a decision tree to choose a method most suited to one's data. Finally, we show some working examples of how to calculate lag duration using our shiny server. |
