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) |
