This article throws light upon the eight main phases in which the growth curve of bacteria is divided. The phases are: 1. 1. Initial Stationary 2. Accelerated Growth 3. Logarithmic Growth 4. Decreasing Growth Rate 5. Maximum Stationary 6. Increasing Death Rate 7. Logarithmic Death 8. Survival or Decreasing Growth Rate. Phase # 1. Initial […]

Article shared by :
After reading this article you will learn about the continuous culture of micro-organisms. The typical bacterial growth curve includes three transitional periods between growth phases. This means that not all the cells are in identical physiological conditions. Time is required for some cells to catch up with others. In terms of physiological conditions, the growth […]
Synchronous Cultures of Bacteria
Article shared by :
After reading this article you will learn about the synchronous cultures of bacteria. Synchronous cultures are composed of populations of cells that are at the same stage of their life cycle. All the cells in the culture will divide at the same time will grow for a generation time, and all will divide again at […]
