    A new computer program simplifies adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) data analysis. It calculates dilution curves, corrects for background effects, and estimates biomass carbon for aquatic and terrestrial samples.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Biochemistry
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Accurate quantification of adenosine 5 -triphosphate (ATP) is crucial for assessing microbial biomass and activity.
    • Traditional ATP data analysis can be complex, requiring manual correction for dilution and background noise.
    • Existing methods may lack versatility across different sample types and instrumentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a user-friendly computer program for the comprehensive analysis of ATP data.
    • To automate the calculation of dilution curves and correction for background and dilution effects.
    • To provide integrated calculation of statistical parameters and biomass carbon estimates.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a dedicated computer program for ATP data processing.
