タイトル Clustering of Bacterial Growth Dynamics in Response to Growth Media by Dynamic Time Warping.
ジャーナル Microorganisms
Abstract Bacterial growth curves, representing population dynamics, are still poorly understood. The growth curves are commonly analyzed by model-based theoretical fitting, which is limited to typical S-shape fittings and does not elucidate the dynamics in their entirety. Thus, whether a certain growth condition results in any particular pattern of growth curve remains unclear. To address this question, up-to-date data mining techniques were applied to bacterial growth analysis for the first time. Dynamic time warping (DTW) and derivative DTW (DDTW) were used to compare the similarity among 1015 growth curves of 28 Escherichia coli strains growing in three different media. In the similarity evaluation, agglomerative hierarchical clustering, assessed with four statistic benchmarks, successfully categorized the growth curves into three clusters, roughly corresponding to the three media. Furthermore, a simple benchmark was newly proposed, providing a highly improved accuracy (~99%) in clustering the growth curves corresponding to the growth media. The biologically reasonable categorization of growth curves suggested that DTW and DDTW are applicable for bacterial growth analysis. The bottom-up clustering results indicate that the growth media determine some specific patterns of population dynamics, regardless of genomic variation, and thus have a higher priority of shaping the growth curves than the genomes do.
