I'm looking for someone to help me with my recent study.

My study was focused on the determination of kinetics parameters (Growth rate, Lag time, and Generation time ) of bacterial growth (Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes) under different factors (concentration of essential oils and temperature of incubation). For this, I followed the model of Gompertz (see the attached file), but I don't know How I can extract the value of A, B, and M from the growth curve to calculate these parameters.

I have the results for the growth curves presenting the rate of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes in log CFU/ml. For more information, you can contact me.

This is the reference of the model used in this study:

Gibson, A.M., Bratchell, N., Roberts, T.A., 1988. Predicting microbial growth: growth responses of salmonellae in a laboratory medium as affected by pH, sodium chloride and storage temperature. Int. J. Food Microbiol. 6, 155–178. doi:10.1016/0168-1605(88)90051-7
