Describe growth curve

1. Lag Phase- (acclimation) the bacteria is introduced to its environment


2.Log Phase- growing log rhythm


(Curve represents faster growing)


(Slower growing when line is flat)


3.Stationary- new cell division because cell is getting ready to die (cell death)


4. Death Phase- Environment changed and cell died


(endospore represents plateau)

Describe growth curve

1. Lag Phase- (acclimation) the bacteria is introduced to its environment


2.Log Phase- growing log rhythm


(Curve represents faster growing)
