My research is question is: does the temperature at which a certain species of bacteria is incubated affect its growth?

I have two agar plates, each incubated at different temperatures. I counted the number of colonies in each one and got counts of 14000 and 1000. Since count data is discrete, I know I should use either a GLM or a chi square test. However, I am unsure which one I should use.

Could someone please help me choose the most appropriate test? I would really appreciate any advice.

Edit: I also have similar counts for two other sets of platesmy dataset looks like this:

               colony count at each temperature
Experiment no.   20 degrees     30 degrees   
1                 14000           1000
2                 12100           800
3                 11500           1200
