Calculation method
zero/cultures-log(zero/cultures)-log(zero/cultures)/finalCellsp0 method for independent fluctuation assays with entire cultures assayed, similar final viable counts and negligible initial inoculum under the mutation/growth assumptions. Reports m=-ln(p0) and explicitly uses the m/Nt rate convention. Restricts p0 to the practical0.1–0.7 range. No partial-plating, post-selection mutation or differential-growth correction.
