Description: growkar provides Bioconductor-native infrastructure for
    high-throughput microbial growth phenotyping from plate-based assays such
    as optical density (OD) measurements. The package is built around
    SummarizedExperiment as its canonical data model, with OD measurements in
    assays, timepoint annotations in rowData, sample annotations in colData,
    and derived phenotypes in metadata. growkar supports data import, quality
    control, normalization, empirical growth-rate estimation,
    exponential-phase detection, and parametric modeling of growth dynamics.
    These workflows enable extraction of biologically meaningful phenotypes
    including lag time, growth rate, doubling time, and carrying capacity,
    and allow growth-derived phenotypes to be integrated with other
    Bioconductor analyses in microbial systems biology and multi-omics
    studies.
