English term or phrase: log10 spore survivors vs. exposure time
Tengo problemas para expresar el "log10" en la siguiente oración:

The D-value was calculated as the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line of best fit from a plot of the **log10** spore survivors vs. exposure time.

Gracias de antemano.

Por definición de logaritmo: "el logaritmo de x [en base b] es el número al cual hay que elevar la base b para obtener x". En tu caso, la base es 10.
