Abstract
Interaction between bacteria and protozoa is an increasing area of interest, however there are a few systems that allow extensive observation of the interactions. A semi-automated approach is proposed to analyse a large amount of experimental data and avoid a time demanding manual object classification. We examined a surface system consisting of non nutrient agar with a uniform bacterial lawn that extended over the agar surface, and a spatially localised central population of amoebae. Location and identification of protozoa and quantification of bacteria population are performed by the employment of image analysis techniques in a series of spatial images. The quantitative tools are based on intensity thresholding, or on probabilistic models. To accelerate organism identification, correct classification errors and attain quantitative details of all objects a custom written Graphical User Interfaces has also been developed.
